Hi All! What is the practical difference between procedure-oriented and document-oriented wsdl? I found the following scant description of the distinction between the two: == This enumeration allows the user to specify whether the message being transmitted is procedure-oriented or document-oriented. Procedure-oriented messages contain parameters and return values, while document-oriented messages contain documents. == http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebservicesdescriptionsoapbindingstyleclasstopic.asp == But to my understanding, procedure-oriented and document-oriented is only revealed at the binding level. This means you still have to define a portType with operations that have input, output and fault messages - which in turn have parameters. So what practical difference is there between a procedure and document oriented message when both are tied to an abstract operation that has input messages (with parameters) and output messages (that are return values)? Any advice is most welcome!
