Setting Up and Using Fast Infoset
Known Issues
The Fast Infoset implementation that is shipped with Java WSDP 2.0 conforms to ITU-T Rec. X.891 | ISO/IEC 24824-1 [1], which is currently an ITU-T Recommendation available from the ITU-T bookshop [2].
Instructions for setting up and using Fast Infoset are found in the Fast Infoset for Java Web Services Developer Pack v2.0 documentation. This includes information on enabling Fast Infoset in both JAX-RPC and JAX-WS.
The Base64 optimization (see the Fast Infoset for Java Web Services Developer Pack v2.0 documentation) only applies to schema-defined (or WSDL-defined) elements. It does not apply to attribute values or element values, which are not defined in the schema (for example, those generated by the XWSS library). Moreover, this optimization is turned off when JAX-RPC handlers are defined.
Certain optimizations in the XWSS library may not be available when Fast Infoset is turned on.
None at the time of this writing.
