Barnaby, Thanks a lot for your hint. The string I am passing is validated XML string, I read from somewhere that the best way is to use LITERAL_XML encodingStyle. But I don't how to write the client VB code/WSDL to use LITERAL_XML or BASE64 ? Are there any samples on using different encodingStyles?

Did you try sending it as a data base64 encoded parameter rather than a string? i.e. a parameter of xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:base64"? I would think this would be handled more efficiently than an xsi:type="xsd:string" parameter. If your class on the Apache SOAP side is byte[] it will be automagically converted to SOAP-ENC:base64.

Hi, I think that if the size of the string is too large, then you should send it as an attachment. I remember of seeing an article somewhere, which mentioned that if the string that you are sending is of a very large length, then it may not get the correct results as well. I think that I read it on this mailing list only, but cant remember it off-hand.
