Yes we are using DIME type attachments. You dont have to put attachments as part of WSDL. Follow the article on how to do attachments. Do it as "manual attachments" verses defining in the method signature i.e. in WSDL Ss Lyman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thank you very much for the most informative reply. As you can see from the invoke method statement, the wsdl has defined the attachments as base64 encoded byte arrays (actually axis does the encoding). I have not control over the wsdl definitions because I am sending the files to an external service. I need to read the articles in depth to fully understand what is happening but are you saying that I would be able to use the dime type for the attachments and still comply with the wsdl?
