OK, I modified Dave's script thus:

<%params = {"Dave"}; xml.rpc ("127.0.0.1", 1234, "radio.helloWorld", @params, protocol:"soap", soapAction:"/examples")%>

Note the change in the port number (so I can capture the messages) and in the protocol.

And now have a helloWorld.txt in *both* the H:\Program Files\Radio UserLand\Web Services and H:\Program Files\Radio UserLand\Web Services\examples. But I still get a Macro error as the name "helloWorld" hasn't been defined. So I can't see what SOAP responses are generated, but here's the request (some white space added for readability):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
  SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
  xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
  xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <helloWorld>
   <param1 xsi:type="xsd:string">Dave</param1>
   </helloWorld>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
 </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Note the lack of a namespace on the body. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult for implementations like Apache SOAP to interoperate for reasons I detail here. The good news is that the situation gets a bit better in Axis.
