The @SOAPBinding annotation
The @SOAPBinding annotation is defined by the javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding interface. It provides details about the SOAP binding used by the service when it is deployed. If the @SOAPBinding annotation is not specified, a service is published using a wrapped doc/literal SOAP binding.
You can put the @SOAPBinding annotation on the SEI and any of the SEI's methods. When it is used on a method, setting of the method's @SOAPBinding annotation take precedent.
The following table shows the properties for the @SOAPBinding annotation.

Property |

Description |
|---|---|---|
|
style |
Style.DOCUMENT (default) Style.RPC |
Specifies the style of the SOAP message. If RPC style is specified, each message part within the SOAP body is a parameter or return value and will appear inside a wrapper element within the soap:body element. The message parts within the wrapper element correspond to operation parameters and must appear in the same order as the parameters in the operation. If DOCUMENT style is specified, the contents of the SOAP body must be a valid XML document, but its form is not as tightly constrained. |
|
use |
Use.LITERAL (default) Use.ENCODED |
Specifies how the data of the SOAP message is streamed. |
|
parameterStyle |
ParameterStyle.BARE ParameterStyle.WRAPPED (default) |
Specifies how the method parameters, which correspond to message parts in a WSDL contract, are placed into the SOAP message body. A parameter style of BARE means that each parameter is placed into the message body as a child element of the message root. A parameter style of WRAPPED means that all of the input parameters are wrapped into a single element on a request message and that all of the output parameters are wrapped into a single element in the response message. If you set the style to RPC you must use the WRAPPED parameter style. |
The below shows an SEI that uses rpc/literal SOAP messages.
