Do you know the other web services for biology?
We receive Web services of other sites and open the WSDL.

I'm trying SOAP Attachment and InputStream.
As you know, SOAP applies XML technology at back end,
and SOAP client do parsing XML.
It is burden to do a large result for the client, then I think
SOAP Attachment is better for this problem.

And simple string is burden for the memory of the
server and client, I think InputStream is useful.

Further more I think BioJava object is more useful
for the SOAP result but I don't plan to do so.

Do you have any idea or suggestion?
