I am in the process of developing a web service which will be called from
oracle forms. The web service will accept and return huge amount of XML data.
So, I need to implement data compression techinique which will be efficient
and would work on both .NET and Oracle. I know that .NET uses GZip, but I am
not sure if oracle forms can use the same.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Rajiv,
I'm not sure how Gzip can be used by the same. Did you explore on the latest
WSE3.0 Here are the options i could think of
1) Creating SOAP extensions for compression
2) Explore the possibilty of using WSE's features (like DIME / MTOM)
please have a look at the following url's

I would use SOAP extensions to compress/decompress the payloads without
affecting any other headers.

By the way, did you figure out any better approach for doing the XML
