Re: Signal to noise ratio in Soap is very high

[Elaine Nance]

SOAP is not designed to create compact dataflows.  It is designed 
for interoperability and, because it is XML, extensibility. 
IMHO, I would *not* use SOAP for purely internal processes if 
speed or stream size matters (where faster/smaller) is better.

In that case I would go strictly with a socket-level approach.
Just my 2 small coins,
Elaine

I look at a message send back from the server to a client in Axis, and 
was very surprised that most of the text is not the data that I need to 
send, but declaration and long namspaces.  Is it possible to reduce 
these down and still comply with Soap?

Thanks,
