We are currently investigating suport for SOAP v1.2 in iControl. From an implementation standpoint there really isn't much that's changed but there are several items that cause backward compatilbility problems. We currently support several toolkits that are still not up to v1.2 in their client side support so we are holding off until all the toolkits come up to speed.

 

 

Are there any specific features of 1.2 that you need that are not compatible with our 1.1 implementation. Input could help us prioritize these features in upcoming releases.

 

 

As for doc/literal, that's a tough one as the SOAP stack we are using (home grown) doesn't support doc/literal and it's quite a bit of work to retool the serializers to support it. Currently the only thing holding us back from WS-I compliance is our support for doc/literal so it is on our radar but honestly you are the first customer/user to request it. Again, is there a specific requirement for doc/literal that you have?
