Compression works very well.
I added a homegrown GZip filter to the AXIS urls and also saw approx 10x
compression. There are also a number of similar OSS Filters out there.
There were .NET clients accessing the web-services and they needed a
tweak to handle the compression:

The original messages could be of the order of 3MB and the client's
network pipe wasn't so big: GZip was a saviour :)

Are there any adjustments I can do to my Axis settings to reduce the

XML compresses very well, typically I have seen compression ratios over 10x!
The key is to get your clients and servers configured to handle
content compression. If you have Tomcat behind Apache, use
mod_deflate. If Tomcat is running standalone, have a look at the
default server.xml to turn it on.
Finally, you have to pray that your clients have content compression support!
The net result has been a huge bandwidth win in my experience, that
when serving your typical html content.
