Configure your http server to serve the image url's with or without authentication (embedded into the url for example).
That way, whoever consumes your web service only loads the images he wants.

Hi,
I'm an Axis newbie struggling away not very successfully at the moment :(
What I want to do is create a range of services that send images. I was hoping to use Axis as the server, java code as the provider and to be able to send the images using attachments to both .NET clients and other clients. The images are in a database.
Services envisaged
getMyPhoto(String myId) returns a gif getPhotos(String[] ids) returns perhaps a zip file of gif's
Anyhow I've read that there are problems with attachments from Axis to .NET, is this still true? Am I going about things in the right way? Finally could anyone point me to resources that might help in this particular task.
All best
Andrew
