HTTP has the option of some sort of compression. (zip, gzip? ) So in theory the entire SOAP message can be compressed during transit. In thinking about it, it's possible that this might be more a function of Tomcat ( assuming that's what's hosting your axis servlet ), than of Axis. Finally if you use the apache connector between apache and tomcat, you could probably get apache to do this compression for you....

Hi Brian, Do you mean that you want to transfer a gzip file via AXIS by using SOAP? If I understood what you said properly, you've just to implement a SwA(SOAP Messages with Attachments). Here is the spec: <http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments> In addition, you will meet the sample code of SwA at the "axis-1_1beta\samples\attachments" in your environment.

Perhaps I'll have better luck. Does Axis support gzip streams? This is very important to me, because I am sending a lot of data. With home-grown code, I've witnessed a 2 meg document get compressed to 56K for an incredible boost in performance. Please advise, and thank you. Brian
