Problems invoking literal Web Services

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to invoke a document style web service.
I've succesfully deployed a service using <soap:body use="literal" namespace="MyWebService1"/>
as for all literal service i've declared it as
public org.w3c.dom.Element MyService(org.w3c.dom.Element e){...
in my WSDL i've changed message type from xsd:any or xsd:anyType to an element I've declared in the <types> section, cause BPEL do not accept these kind of types:
<message name="MyServiceRequest">
<part name="e" element="tns:MyElement"/>
</message>
i've called the service succesfully with a self-written client and then i've tried to invoke it throught a Bpel process... and it fail :(
I've used a TCP monitor to compare XML envelopes and I've noticed a difference wich let BPEL invocation fail
with my pure java client the mex produced is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:docStyle xmlns:ns1="MyWebService1" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml">
<elem>
<numbers><number>11</number></numbers>
</elem>
</ns1:docStyle>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
with BPEL call i get
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:docStyle soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="MyWebService1">
<numbers xmlns="http://prova/DocStyleService.wsdl">
<number>45</number>
</numbers>
</ns1:docStyle>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
the problem is the encodingStyle one = http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
the other = http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml
but i cannot figure how to change this, how to use the invoke activity to send in literal encoding style!!
any ideas
thank Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I am having very similar problem :) (RPC web service, but Element as parameter and literal encoding), so if you, or someone else knows the solution, please help...
