Well, the first question that comes to mind is why you're shoving XML documents through RMI rather than HTTP or some other protocol that's oriented toward documents instead of objects. In comparison, RMI has a ton of overhead. If the document represents some kind of object request, SOAP would be another good protocol to look into.
If you're sure that RMI is the right way to go, the serialize classes might do what you need. They convert an object tree into a character stream that represents the typical file-based XML format. <element/> etc. Converting to text and back is a lot of overhead but it's probably faster than Java's object serialization. The classes are actually very simple to use. Here's a snippet of code that dumps a document into a String. OutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); XMLSerializer xmls = new XMLSerializer( os, new OutputFormat() ); xmls.serialize( doc ); return os.toString(); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilson W.
