Figured this out yesterday.
The server piece is fine. On the server in order to attach documents
with axis you just do the following:
DataSource ds = new FileDataSource("/tmp/msg.pdf");
AttachmentPart att = new AttachmentPart(new DataHandler(ds));
Message msg =
(Message)MessageContext.getCurrentContext().getResponseMessage();
msg.addAttachmentPart(att);
msg.saveChanges();
To see these at the client you need the following code:
Iterator iterator = call.getResponseMessage().getAttachments();
if (iterator.hasNext())
{
AttachmentPart part = (AttachmentPart) iterator.next();
DataHandler dh = part.getDataHandler();
dh.writeTo(new java.io.FileOutputStream("somefilename"));
}
-a.
