Michele, I'm not sure JMS is a viable alternative if large amounts of data are transferred. That statement would imply there is some sort of size cutoff. There isn't. Just remember, that with JMS you can have persisted queues and then all of that data would have to be stored temporarily. Personally, I think some of the lessons from JMS (message queuing in general) can be applied to web services; keep the msgs as small as possible.
Large data transfer (across the network) is a serious problem. There is no easy solution that I've seen. Having said that, there are quite a few posters who have used attachments with their web services. I have used the older DIME format, but other posters have used the newer MTOM. I would be interested to see what their performance was like, with large files (ie. around a Gigabyte, say). Since MTOM chunks up the files, transferring any sized file should theoretically be possible. Does anyone have any opinions on using MTOM for transferring Gb and and multi-Gb files?? -jeff -----Original Message----- From: Michele Mazzucco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 11:21 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: RE: Best way to realize stateful servicesarchitecturewithmassivedata? Jeff, I mentioned JMS as possible choice if one has to transfer large amount of data since it is asynchronous.
