Thanks so far. ;) But this does not solve my problem. What a pitty. I have no problems sending and receiving single binaries as a bas64Binary or bas64. Whatever xsd or soapenc. But the hard thing for me to realize is the stuff with an array of binaries. It simply does not work for me. No matter what configuration I am using. And I have tried lots of them.
Hmm. I am stucked. Cheers anyway Marc -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Anand Natrajan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 11.

In my case, I had to send a single binary, not an array of them. Also, I was retrieving the binary from the server, not sending them to the server. When I exposed the operation within a doc/lit service, I saw exactly what you see - each byte gets its own tag, bloating the returned results. When I exposed the operation within an rpc/enc service, I saw exactly what you want - data gets base64-encoded within the SOAP response. On looking through the WSDLs for both cases, I saw that in the doc/lit case, the return value was essentially "sequence of bytes", but for the rpc/enc case, it was "base64binary". Perhaps that accounts for the differences. Hope that helps.
