It uses the Content-Encoding capability of HTTP. The Apache SOAP client always understands something gzipped. It will gzip a payload only when you specify with setGzip(true). The service always understands something gzipped. It will only gzip a payload if both the deployment descriptor enables it *and* the client sends an Accept- Encoding HTTP header that says it can read gzip. Therefore, a client that cannot unzip will never get something from the service that is zipped (and will also not benefit from such zipping!)
