images over SOAP

[Pär Malmqvist <pa...@hotmail.com>]

Hello!
 
I am about to create a SOAP service that return images (10-50kB) stored in a database.
 
Is the best way to transport the image data as a byte[]?
Is there a large overhead from the SOAP protocol which makes the service a bit slow or do youthink it will work fine?
Any other suggestions?

Hi, I would like to have a solution that works for Axis1 on the server side as well.
I dont know when I am allowed to introduce Axis2 in the production environment. 
And the interoperability to .NET clients has to work as well.

Would MTOM work for Axis1?

Thanks!

You can transport them as byte[] using either base64 encoding, MTOM or
SwA... MTOM would be the best one among those 3 options, as it
transports the image data as it is without encoding and it is the new
standard.

IMHO it will work fine.. Anyway the file needs to be transferred..
SOAP overhead would not be a huge compared to the time it takes to
transport.
