In short, I would love to have a speedier, SAX-based Apache SOAP, but I don't know where the effort would come from to do the work.
I don't know of any time that any developer(s) said Apache SOAP would be moving to using SAX, and I know of no plans to do so. A significant part of very early Axis development was refactoring everything to be driven by SAX. I doubt we have the cycles here to repeat that effort (although volunteers are always welcome!). As it stands, I only expect some of the smallest items on the TODO list to be addressed because of the lack of developers. (Note that I would like to package the current code as a release and cannot even get a more experience contributor to help me through the steps of doing that!). There is an option in the current code, based on a contribution (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=soap-dev&m=102571700230501&w=2), that allows you to specify whether you want messages parsed by a DOM parser or by a SAX parser with a transform to a DOM result. The contributor reported significant speed improvement, although the few tests I have run have not corroborated this.

There has been discussions about using a SAX parser instead of a DOM parser. What is the status on this ? Quoting Axis: Speed. Axis uses SAX (event-based) parsing to acheive significantly greater speed than earlier versions of Apache SOAP. /Leif Nilsson Leif Nilsson Software Engineer TAC AB Jägershillgatan 18 SE-213 75 Malmö, Sweden Direct +46 40 38 69 56 Fax +46 40 21 82 87 Mobile +46 46 299 89 56 www.tac-global.com This email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
