attachment is there, but can't reach it through soap w/attachment api

[Steve Pruitt]

This is frustrating.  My service sends an attachment along with some body content.  Can someone spot where I am going wrong?

 

Thanks much in advance.

 

The code to create the soap response is:

 

SOAPMessage reply = mf.createMessage();  //mf is javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory

 

SOAPPart sp = reply.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = sp.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();

 

<add body content>

 

AttachmentPart ap = reply.createAttachmentPart();
ap.setContent("Hello world", "text/plain");
ap.setContentType("text/plain");
reply.addAttachmentPart(ap);

 

OutputStream os = resp.getOutputStream();  //resp is HttpServletResponse
reply.writeTo(os);
os.flush();

 

The reponse in TCPMonitor looks right.

But, when I try to get my attachment I am told there are no attachments.  The client code is:

 

SOAPMessage reply = con.call(msg, endpoint);
Iterator it = reply.getAttachments();
if(it.hasNext()) ... //returns false

When I dump out the reply contents via

 

reply.writeTo(System.out);

 

I get:
