Understanding Document-Style and RPC-Style WSDL Differences

The examples provided in previous sections of this chapter have been for document-style WSDL files in which a message is defined with an XML schema element, as shown in he following example: 

<message name="LoanFlowRequestMessage">
<part name="payload" element="s1:loanApplication"/>
</message>

This is in contrast to RPC-style WSDL files, in which the message is defined with an XML schema type, as shown in the following example: 

<message name="LoanFlowRequestMessage">
<part name="payload" type="s1:LoanApplicationType"/>
</message>
