HI, Soap folks, Our web service is based on Apache Soap 2.2 and the web service client is based on Microsoft Soap Tool kit 2.0. The client periodically sends an XML String as one of an array parameter to the web service and the web service will do some manipulations of that string. The input string used to be below 100 KB and the performance is satisfactory. Recently the input XML string increases to around 1 MB and the web service starts to respond extremely slow. We put some output statement at the beginning of the web service function, now it takes about 15 minutes before we see those output. We want to know why it takes Apache Soap 2.2 so long to respond? We found some previous post that mentions using XML_LITERAL_ENCODING will make it faster, but since we are using MS SOAPtoolkit, we don't know how to sent this encoding.
Any of your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks. -Chengmin
