I just did a study of a thread on this list, Eddie, which is called
"PlugIn and the base URL". You will recognize that thread because you
posted to it without complaint and had a disagreement with me about
relations between intranets and the Internet. This thread had a total
of 82 posts and a size of 668 kilobytes. That is an AVERAGE size of
8.15 killobytes. My code, which you did complain about and said was
13 kilobytes was actually 10 killobytes and was useful now and will be
useful in the future.
There were simple responses that could have been less than 10 lines
but in fact were well over 300 lines. You did not object at all. An
example will follow my signature. I submit that this is where you
might put your efforts, rather than in trying to cut code, if you want
to be effective.
I am tired of you attacking my posts of code every time you have a
disagreement on other things. Please at least be consistent and do
this with everyone or maybe at least one other person. Today you did
not even come close to talking to the biggest offender. I can only
conclude that you have an axe to grind and I am done talking with you
about it after this.

The post of but one of well over 50 examples that apparently did not
bother you is:

Wouldn't the simplest thing be to just add a "url" property to the PlugIn
that initializes your SOAP service?
<plug-in className="...">
<set-property property="url"
value="http://blahblahblah.com:8080/AppName/"/>
</plug-in>
