Integrating Ajax into GIS Web Services for Performance Enhancement

In the GIS(Geospatial Information System) Web Services, SOAP/MTOM shows best performance when transferring large size of data between services. SOAP/MTOM uses XOP for message optimizing method, so data serialization and deserialization time is reduced. Additionally, integrating Ajax(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) approach into GIS visualization Web Services have performance enhancement, because it provides more interactive user experience. Ajax, one of the technologies of "Web 2.0", is appeared after Dot Com bubble is occurred. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change.
