your SOAP response can be a URL to the file ..and hand the URL to FTP server for bulk of the heavy lifting another idea is to compress the file which will conserve bandwidth
the question is which server has the necessary bandwidth to handle the transmission? if you're bogging down your webapp server you might want consider clustering http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/cluster-howto.html Most prod servers run with 4GB RAM so you'll want to increment your stack and heap params to accomodate more RAM http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.60/diag/appendixes/defaults.html heavy resource-intensive operations should be handled by threads to prevent bogging down the JVM proc you may also want to consider Chunked-encoding ..

L I don’t want to crash my web server by receiving large files. We cannot request from the clients to send small files and people are always willing to blame us by crashing the web server. There may be some settings in the tomcat configurations to limit the size of incoming request. Any suggestions? Thank you.
