Hi, I am running an AXIS service now under Java (both clients and server). There has been a request made for allowing largish strings to be sent as arguments, which will be parsed on the server. I would like to know the following, as it relates to people's experience:
* Attachments are probably the way to go. Is there a specific size after which one should use attachments? E.g. If our text objects are maybe a couple hundred k, do I need to learn about attachments? * Is there a largest size for attachments, after which there are performance issues? So if we wanted to send a 15 mb file, would this simply crawl/crash? * For arbitrary strings, is it possible for the xml to get munged, so that the receiving end gets gibberish (e.g., imporperly escaped international characters)? I am looking at these with an eye towards how to implement this best and see what caveats go along with it. If someone has some timings for transfers, that would be super. As always, any advice is gratefully received! Cheers, Jeff
