Hello,

XI SOAP adapter provides capability for compression of SOAP request.

How do I create a web service in WAS6.4 which has data compression enabled so that I can use it with SOAP adapter?

Regards,

Vandana.

Hi,

WAS 6.40 Web Services Runtime Does not support recieving compressed requests.

It only supports returning compressed responses.

The compression is activated by sending "Accept-Encoding: gzip" HTTP Header in the request soap messages.

The j2ee engine returns gzip response to such requests if the reply message if bigger in size that XXXX bytes.

The boundary size is specified using the "visual administrator -> server -> services ->HTTP Provider -> Properties -> MinimumGZipLength".

If messages are smaller than the size specified there, they will not be compressed.
