Strategies for document based web services

I found a very interesting article on strategies for document based web services.

Sameer Tyagi:

To recap, the Document-Based Web Services pattern can be realized using the following eight strategies, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:

• Using XML in the SOAP body
• Starting with a Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
• Starting with Java code
• Using string in the SOAP body
• Using base64-encoded or raw bytes in the SOAP body
• Switching off data binding
• Using the xsd:any element in WSDL
• Using the xsd:anyType in WSDL
• Using an external Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) to reference the business document
• Using message attachments in the SOAP message
