compression

[Yourdon]

Hi,

Anybody has some experience with compression techniques between
client&server ?

I am generating pictures at the server side and sending it as a picture
(base 64 encoded).

I want to compress it server-side in Java and decompress it client-side in
JScript.

Anybody some ideas ?

Thanks,

Marcel

This does not sound like an InfoPath specific question. Try reposting your
question in the JScript newsgroup.

It is relevant for this group, however I agree that technically it is better
off in a JScript group.

I changed my mind about solving compression myself.

I am communicating from InfoPath 2007 to JBoss and sending back generated
images.

This works fine and showing up nicely in the InfoPath client.

The communication takes place via webservices.

In my opinion compression of information should be (and probably will be in
the future) the responsibility of the communication protocol, the
webservices.

So, I am not putting any effort in solving this myself.
