Hi all,
This may be a simple question, if so I'd be delighted... I have a web
service that returns results wrapped up in a Map, all well and good, it
works just fine. The current problem I'm having is that say my service
needs to return some binary data, it puts a byte array into the Map, and
this is then not unreasonably turned into a soap array of type xsd:byte.
Unfortunately, this means that my byte array bloats by about a factor of
thirty, which is an overhead I can't really afford.
So, what I'd like to see on the wire would be a base64 encoded binary
type, but I can't see how to persuade axis to do this, can anyone help?
I guess what I'd ideally like is something like a java type that, when I
put it into my Map, causes a base64 string to be used in the soap
representation.
Cheers,
Tom (this question is on behalf of a colleague who is currently away, I
have to deal with the output of the service and currently the xml format
of doom is crashing my servers with out of memory errors...)
