Failed to contol SOAP encoding

[Omri]

Hi All,
I have a webservice which I want to return messages in the encoded
style.
I used both
SoapDocumentService(Use:=SoapBindingUse.Encoded)
and
SoapDocumentMethod(use:=SoapBindingUse.Encoded)
but still it won't. What can I be missing?

Here is my function signature:
[WebMethod()]
[SoapDocumentMethod(use:=SoapBindingUse.Encoded,
ParameterStyle:=SoapParameterStyle.Default)]
Public Node getLine()

(Node is a simple linked list node)

Here is the output XML (which is evidently not encoded)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Node xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/literalTypes">
<nxt>
<nxt>
<name>C</name>
</nxt>
<name>B</name>
</nxt>
<name>A</name>
</Node>

For the benefit of others who encoutner this behaviour:
It seems that when accessing the service using "GET" the XML returned
is LITERAL, regardless of the attributes.
This means that the default web pages that allow testing simple web
services will not suffice - they use GET and will fail on circular
references and such.
Don't fret - accessing the service in SOAP _does_ return ENCODED
format.
