Please note that Axis2 (as well as other Web service frameworks) use the DataHandler class as a convenient way of representing data of type base64binary. DataHandler is an existing class from the Java Activation Framework and indeed has properties for content type and (file) name. However, this information is not sent as part of the SOAP message and will be lost. You should do the following: - If you use contract first, you may use the XMIME schema [1], which extends the base64binary type to include content type information. - If you use code first, simply add an explicit argument for the content type to your service.
