Does it mean that attachments are sent as streams and not part of soap envelop?
I think my problem here is the memory and time. So If I send it as attachment, the client can read the stream and may be save it to disk rather than filling the memory?

I am trying to write a method in soap service that returns thousands of objects that are converted into xml elements. Returning the whole response as an xml string is taking for ever. I am wondering if I can send the response as an output stream rather than as xml string. How about sending the response as attachment. Will it do any better. I think attachments are sent as streams if I am not wrong. Thanks Praveen
