In this section we discuss Quality of Service capabilities and considerations specific to document style Web services. For further discussion on Quality of Services for Web services in general, see 8.6, "Quality of Service capabilities" on page 177.
As discussed in 8.6.6, "Transactionality" on page 180, standards for Web services transactionality are still evolving at the time of writing. Document style Web services can provide benefits in this area.
A complex business process may require a series of calls to finer-grained RPC style Web services. It may be appropriate to use courser-grained document style Web services instead, where the contents of an entire transaction can be passed within one XML document. The business transaction can then be performed within one service request. See also "Use document style when maintaining application state" on page 211.
