I guess it depends what large is! I have recently implemented an Apache SOAP client that sends images of up to 4Mb with default JVM settings. I managed to improve performance considerably by base64 encoding the data input stream which avoided having the binary in memory as well.
Is it not the case that Apache SOAP will construct the message in memory however you do it and will always be restricted by this? And if this is the case the best you can do is try to avoid having the XML document and the complete SOAP message (with XML doc) in memory together.

Barry,
If the file is large, is that a feasible way to do it?

Hi Tizo,
could you not just put the XML document in the SOAP body and extract it at the other side:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <mail> <to>Tizo</to> <from>Barry</from> <msg>Won't this work?</msg> </mail> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Barry
