Axis provides most of the functionality you will need for attachment management. If you have large XML attachment, it should not be a problem. You can write SAX handler for your attachment that will be as efficient as you want it to be. Attachment parse time is also good in axis, it has custom code for MIME parsing and is using JavaMail just for outgoing messages.
For the SOAPEnvelope Axis is creating a DOM like structure. Parse speed on it is good, but memory usage is close to DOM. > -----Original Message----- > From: Russell Butek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 5:35 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: AW: DOM or SAX in Axis? > > > AXIS DOES support attachments (to a degree).
