I want to send binary serialized messages, but I am worried that if there is an error when de-serializing, I won't be able to figure out the problem. For SOAP, I would just be able to see the messages, but I don't want all of the CPU overhead for XML processing of SOAP messages. The other problem with SOAP messages is that they fail if you add new fields to the message. (SOAP doesn't support extraneous data tolerance)
So, is there any way to take a binary-serialized object, and transform it into it's SOAP equivalent, just for the purpose of debugging?
