It sort of depends on your architecture and who the callers are, but you can put a GZipFilter in front of your AxisServlet and compress it that way... of course, that means the client has to be capable of uncompressing gzip as well as indicating that they support gzip in an HTTP header...

Hi there, I am currently making a scientific application web service ready. Since the data that gets transferred can be quite big, I am looking for a good solution to make the SOAP messages small. The input data, which consist mainly of doubles is usually given in binary files. I can use WS-Attachments to transfer those files, but I also have an RPC version, which sends human readable messages with ASCII data. Sadly, the blow-up using RPC style is just incredible, so I am looking into possibilities to make the SOAP messages smaller and still retain clearer interface and easy debugging using RPC. What techniques can I use to compress the data? Is there a better approach then just send binary files? Is it possible to use RPC, but have the doubles sent as binary?
