Axis can do this already to some extent:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("some.xml");
// The 2nd arg being "true" here causes the engine to interpret the
// input stream as the body contents.
Message msg = new Message(fis, true);
...use message...
Unfortunately, our serialization implementation (see
org.apache.axis.message.InputStreamBody, line 82) buffers the entire contents of the
inputstream during serialization anyway, so I'm not sure how much it'll help with
memory usage. The problem becomes one of hooking up an arbitrary inputstream to an
arbitrary writer in an efficient way.
