Hi I wrote a session bean that was deployed as web service and was sending the content of file on invocation of a method. To do that you don't have to use a DataHandler object. To my understanding DataHandler is just a wrapper object which can contain another object and some more information for that object.
I am adding the code of my session bean I wrote to transmit the file. It is quite simple and maybe it will solve your problem:- public byte[] echo(String fileName) { System.err.println("In echo"); byte[] retValue = new byte[0]; if(fileName==null) { System.err.println("FileName is null"); } else { System.err.println("Recieved \""+fileName+"\"."); File file = new File(fileName); int length = (int)(file.length()); FileInputStream fileiStream = null; if(file.exists()) { try { fileiStream = new FileInputStream(file); retValue = new byte[length]; fileiStream.read(retValue); } catch(IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { fileiStream.close(); } catch(IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace();} } } } return retValue; } I have a public method called echo that just reads the file and transmits as a byte[] to the client. With this as byte[] is a XML data type you should be able to write a C# client with the WSDL of above method.
