No. If you want to enable that kind of optimization, then you can provide an ADDITIONAL API for your customers to use. And, on the receiving side, the other application will tell your toolkit "sparse coming" I mean, you must have some way for a receiving application to signal to your toolkit what it wants, otherwise when it sees <i>5</i> You don't know if it's integer, floating point, or string. Do you only handle typed messages? That would help me understand your motivation... /r$ -- Zolera Systems, Securing web services (XML, SOAP, Signatures, Encryption) http://www.zolera.com
