Description

Kenny MacLeod opened SWS-526 and commented

Many web service stacks (e.g. JAX-WS-RI) implement the XML Fast Infoset protocol when deployed as JAX-WS endpoints. The protocol is coordinated as an exchange of HTTP request/response headers.

When these stacks are used via Spring WS, this support is not exposed.

Given the massive performance boost you can get from this protocol, I would very much like to see it supported in Spring-WS, on both server and client ends. It may be possible to use the FastInfoset.jar that ships with JAX-WS-RI as an implementation that works with all WS stack implementations.

Research direction

Start by locating Spring-WS's server and client transport or HTTP header handling, then review how the FastInfoset.jar from JAX-WS-RI could provide the implementation. Done means exposing Fast Infoset support for both server and client endpoints without depending on a particular web service stack.
