Abstract

By introducing Web Services, distributed GIS services from different vendors can be dynamically integrated into a GIS application using the interoperable standard SOAP protocol. However, it is debatable whether SOAP can really meet the performance requirements of GIS. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the performance of different SOAP variants: standard SOAP, SwA/MIME, and SOAP/MTOM. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that SOAP performance in communicating large volumes of GIS data could be effectively improved by recent standards. Moreover, SOAP/MTOM is identified to be the fastest and the most efficient messaging protocol.
