RE: What is the best way to send Large String from the Client to the Service?

["Ding, Chengmin" <Ch...@tfn.com>]

Hi, Paramdeep,
Thank you for your reply. I really hope to send the large string as an
attachment. But we need to use MSSoap toolkit for now in the client side and
unfortunely it doesn't support Soap with Attachment yet. So the only choice
is to send the information via string. 
If we can use a Apache Java client, I will send the information via
attachment for sure.

Regards,

-Chengmin

Hi,

I think that if the size of the string is too large, then you should send it
as an attachment.

I remember of seeing an article somewhere, which mentioned that if the
string that you are sending is of a very large length, then it may not get
the correct results as well. I think that I read it on this mailing list
only, but cant remember it off-hand.

Regards
Paramdeep
