                 Key: BPEL-261
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/BPEL-261
             Project: JBoss jBPM BPEL
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Engine
            Reporter: Alejandro Guizar
         Assigned To: Alejandro Guizar
             Fix For: jBPM BPEL 1.1 GA


The documentation for javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult {http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamResult.html} reads:

Normally, a stream should be used rather than a [writer], so that the transformer may use instructions contained in the transformation instructions to control the encoding.

It turns out byte streams are preferred over character streams. In consequence, the data type used to store dom elements in the database should be varbinary rather than varchar. Plus, the byte stream output lends itself better to compression.
