ROUND 2 SOAP Interoperability Tests Specification

This specification outlines a (proposed) SOAP service interface that can be implemented by SOAP implementations as part of an interoperability testing process.

General Guidelines

SOAP Version 1.1 will be used.
For this method set, implementations may carry explicit typing information on the wire, but should not require it for incoming messages.
Since we are dealing strictly with Section 5 encoding, encodingStyle should be present and set to http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
All server and client envelopes should conform to the WSDL document located at http://www.whitemesa.com/interop/InteropTest.wsdl

The list of methods follows. Sample envelopes are provided as well. It is important to note that these envelope examples are ONLY examples, and there is no implication that the implementations need to conform to these specific envelopes.
