Have a look at the RFC for HTTP on look under "HTTP compression". Gzip-compression is prettry common - reduces the size with a factor of 3 to 10, depending.
Gzip-input- and Gzip-output-streams exist in J2SE.

Has anyone messed around with trying to zip-up the input and output streams of the XML? I can imagine a huge performance improvement on large messages if both client and server side can put in support for zipping up the stream. Thanks, Ozzie Gurkan Manheim
