For you folks that are sending attachments to .NET clients from Axis services, what Servlet Engines are you using? I've been having trouble getting Tomcat 4.1.29 to do this. I am using the same approach as Jim just spelled out.
Thanks, --Sergeant =========== Jim: =========== Hi, AFAIK you cannot specify that a client must send an attachment or that a service returns an attachment in WSDL. There is an example in the samples directory of a method signature for sending and retrieving attachments (they use custome serialisers). This worked fine for me on the Java only side but when I tried to get a .net client to use the service I had problems so I changed my code so that the service had a string parameter and returned an int, on the server I added the attachment to the response and set the type to DIME. The drawback is that you have to physically tell the client about the attachment. Hope this helps.
