I've just committed a change to add gzip encoding for HTTP. You can get
this capability immediately by grabbing the CVS source, or tomorrow by
getting the nightly built for tonight.
The encoding is enabled on the client through SOAPContext. For example, the
client in the gzip sample does the following:
// Build the call.
SOAPContext ctx = new SOAPContext();
ctx.setGzip(true);
Vector params = new Vector();
params.addElement(new Parameter("data", inFileData.getClass(),
inFileData, null));
Call call = new Call("urn:gzip-sample",
"test",
params,
null,
Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC,
ctx);
The ctx.setGzip(true) indicates that the request will be sent with gzip
encoding.
On the server, encoding is enabled through the deployment descriptor. The
service in the gzip sample has
<isd:option key="gzip" value="true"/>
The server will only use gzip encoding if the client indicates it can handle
it by sending an Accept-Encoding header. Starting with this change, the
Apache SOAP client always sends such a header.
The gzip sample is the only testing I've done of this feature. Note that it
should work with any SOAP message, including one in which there are
attachments.

The current Apache SOAP code does not have "built-in" support for compressed
messages (such as by using gzip with HTTP 1.1). However, you can zip files
that you send as attachments. Read the full thread at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=soap-dev&m=102690794625939&w=2 for more
information.

Subject: Compression support in Apache SOAP
Hi all,
Does Apache SOAP comes with built-in support for compressed messages?
I am developing a SOAP client wich must receive/transfer data files from the
server. These files can be of arbitrary size.
I'm interested in having my 'Apache SOAP over Tomcat' to automatically
compress the whole SOAP message. This way, I would not have to deal with zip
libraries.
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo
