WSE / DIME File Transfer Performance

I'm working on an file transfer gateway using WSE with DIME for file
attachments. Our goal is to replace our direct file repository access (via
windows network folder sharre) with the Web Service gateway for security
purposes.

As it stands now, all workstations have direct read-write access to the file
repository share. The Web Service gateway will secure this for us. While the
web service gateway is more secure, it doesn't perform anywhere near up to
the performance of a direct file copy. I'm working with a 27 MB file in my
test environment; the client and the web service are on the same
workstation.

Using direct file access, I can copy this 27 MB file in under 2 seconds.
Using the web service, it take between 5 and 6 seconds to transfer the same
file. We understand that we might have to trade a bit of speed for the
increased security, however a 400% increase is really more of a hit than
we'd been anticipating. Is there any way that I can tune performance to
optimize WSE / DIME for large file attachments?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Joseph,

Do a Google search on "084SharpZipLib ". Check out
084SharpZipLib_ SourceSamples.z ip and the DIME example.

Hi Jim,

What does this do, Zips the file before sending it across the wire? Most of
our files are compressed to begin with, so this wouldn't buy us anything in
most cases.

Thanks,

I have a Web Service with a method that handles file uploads. The file is sent as a DIME attachment to the SOAP request. The post is successful, the file is received and the correct response is sent back to the client. So there seems to be nothing wrong at all, except: This is UNBELIEVEABLY slow! My last tests were with a 4MB file. The tests took between 30 and 40 seconds total. The web service code finished its work in 750-790...

Hi, I have a situation where I need to return bulky PDF files from a web service method. The easiest way to do this is return base64 encoded strings. But as the PDF files are bulky this would mean that for each web method call the file would have to be loaded into memory for encoding and returning. This will easily turn out to be a performance bottleneck if multiple calls are being made to the web method.

I have a situation where a webservice has worked fine in a development environment, but when placed into production has stopped working (although at one time it was). Using WSE 2.0/DIME, we wrote a simple File Transfer and retrieval service, which has to pass through a firewall (the only real difference between dev and production -- at the time). Originally, the error was this:

I have never sent attachment with webservices. Yesterday I got the challenge to redesign my solution that sends large XML structures to a Java webservice. The reason was that the Java SOAP implementation had problems consuming too large files that way. They encountered a memory leak in the parser that made the whole mainframe environment to crash! So the decided they should go for DIME attachments instead. I use VB.Net in VS2005.
