RE: Best Practise DIME

[THOMAS, JAI [AG-Contractor/1000]]

Phil,
Our server has a method like this that returns a pdf file:
        public DataHandler generateReport(String productId)
      {
        ..........................
      }

WSDD section corre. to the method looks something like this, with a returnQName 
definition:
    <operation name="generateReport" returnQName="rptfile" 
returnType="ns1:DataHandler" >
        <parameter name="productId" type="xsd:string" />
        ..........................
    </operation>

Our MS SOAP client code that deals with attachment looks something like this:
  Reader.LoadWithParser (Connector.OutputStream, Parser)
  Set RcvdAttachments = Reader.Attachments
  if (Reader.IsAttachmentReference(Reader.RPCParameter("rptfile")) = True) then
       Set ReceivedAttach = Reader.GetReferencedAttachment 
(Reader.RPCParameter("rptfile"))

Jai

Hi Jai
Thanks for your reply.
How did you implement the service.
How can I add this referenced attachments or hrefs to my service.
Which sample did you follow? 

thanks in advance
Phil

Phil,
Your client don't realy need to deal with datahandlers. Response message
will contain referenced attachments and your client just has to be capable
of accessing these attachments. We in fact have an Axis server returning
datahandlers and MS SOAP client consuming the service.

Hi all
I�m trying to send attachment files from gsoap to my java service via DIME.
I found out that axis for java is using datahandler and it�s very easy to
implement it, when I use a java client.
But my client in gsoap doesn�t support any datahandlers.
What is the best way to do it? Is there another way in java to bulid a
service which sends and receives attachments that
is interoperable or conform with other soap clients?
Or are there any possibilities to make a wsdl contract?

I would appreciate any hints.
Many thanks
Phil
