Large(ish) SOAP Messages

Question

Hello,
I am developing a document based SOAP web service and I have come across
a problem when the size of my SOAP response message exceeds 1024
characters, I am using to following code in my servlet which builds the
SOAP response:
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
try {
responseMessage.writeTo(os);
} catch (SOAPException ex) {
throw new ServletException(ex);
os.flush();
When the data is shorter than 1024 characters I have no problems
although when the data exceeds 1024 characters the client never receives
a response message and continually waits for a response.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated
Thanks, Stuart

Hi Stuart,
You might take a look the flushBuffer method [2] and also the discussion
about chunk size [1] but this is a wag.
What version of WLS? Is this using a WLS webservice client jar?
Thanks
bruce
