I am developing a web applet that is simply the presentation layer on a
application sitting on top of a view controller proxy which is a SOAP
client. The SOAP client the contacts the business layer proxy on the
server (which is a SOAP server) and requests objects to alter the view
of the applet.
I was wondering if anybody has come across SOAP extensions that would
allow you to compress either the entire SOAP envelope (or just the
serialised object) and send it across the SOAP transport to be
decompressed on the other side?
I know that such extensions exist for both compression and encryption on
Microsoft's .NET implementation but is there a similar package on the
cards for Apache SOAP? Alternatively, if a custom
serialiser/deserialiser was written to preform the compression and
decompression automatically, would this fit into the current
implementation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Phillip Urrea
