Regarding files sizes ( very Large binaries ) and capabilities of the Axis framework and existing examples, i ran a test using the RC2 version of "samples.attachments.EchoAttachmentService" with an "+FDR" arg directing the sample app. to use DIME Encapsulation.
Results of DIME example and sending 120 Meg in 12 binary files... DataHandlers went back and forth successfully ( client to server to client ) in about 22 Seconds. myTestRig ( AMD XP 1.7 Ghz with 750 M of RAM ). ------- my thoughts ------- On the client side it is very fast in streaming large files ( 12 Meg each ) into an array of DataHandlers for DIME Encapsulation for the trip over the wire to server. On the server, in the Echo example, there is NO PROCESS to deserialize / getInstream on the DataHandler Array from the WebService input parm. The current example just echos back the DH Array to Client. IF , the service in the example can be extended to Open Streams on the uploaded Array of attachments and to create files on the server side, then this is a good start for an upload and file exchange infrastructure to handle MPEG's and large bin files. That would be usefull... Anyone interested in working on a FAST Server implementation of this?? ------- command line that i used -------- axis-1_2RC2>%java_home%/bin/java -classpath lib/axis.jar;...jars;. samples.attachments.EchoAttachment -p 80 +FDR data/z ===== robert rowntree Borneo Consulting Inc 415 642 4162 415 335 5539 M
