First hit from the google url provided by Gary...
http://www.pocketsoap.com/pocketsoap/docs/master/doclit.htm
"There are many different styles of SOAP messages, the two most
common today are rpc/encoded and document/literal (These catchy names
are from the WSDL descriptions of these styles). By default
PocketSOAP generates rpc/encoded style messages, this matches what
the majority (at the time of press) of Web Services use, however
there is a trend towards moving to document/literal services,
PocketSOAP also supports this style as well.
There's no formal mapping for document/literal style SOAP between the
SOAP messages and programming languages, all it says is that the SOAP
message will conform to a particular XML Schema, many toolkits
provide tools that will generate code for you that maps from the SOAP
message to your programming lanuage types based on the XML Schema
definition. PocketSOAP supports this as well, via the WSDL Wizard.
However, ASP.NET is the primary toolkit that uses document/literal
today, and it uses a mapping that is very similar to the rpc/encoded
mapping (but different enough that if you send an rpc/encoded
message, it will ignore the parameters you send and use defaults
instead)..."
Note the last sentence.
