Hi list,

Maybe someone here has some knowledge on SOAP. I have been looking into
the OGC move towards W3C Web Services standards for geospatial services
and I have a question regarding performance when using SOAP.

It is mentioned by many that large data sets is a performance issue when
using SOAP messaging because the entire message need to be buffered at
the server before sending a response to a client. Is this true? In that
case, why?

Can't a SOAP enabled WFS server simply start sending a SOAP response
message in a streamed fashion when responding to a WFS GetFeature
request to include GML that is dynamically generated from a database,
potentially delivering thousands of gigabytes of data encoded in the
SOAP message body?

Thank you for any help!

Jonas J
