Hi,
I am having the same problem.
I have a CGI Perl script using SOAP::Lite using SOAP-RPC to return about 400
database records as XML.
The data size is about 300Kb.
Using the tunnel, I can see when the data has finished being transmitted, yet
the Java Call.invoke() method does not return for another couple of /minutes/
I'm going to try zipping the data and returning as base64 next, this reduces the
file size to a mere 10kb, and hopefully will be faster.
But, just wondering, what is the Java SOAP Call.invoke() method doing that takes
so long?! Is it parsing the XML? Anyone know of any options to speed it up?
Thank-you,
Kevin
