Hi all, hi Dhanush,
Thank you Dhanush for
you reply.
After a few days of
testing to send a attachment with DIME from AXIS-Service to
gsoap-client,
we are really down. SO
I hope someone can give us a hint.
First of all, we send
from the Service:
Message rspmsg =
AxisEngine.getCurrentMessageContext().getResponseMessage();
rspmsg.setMessageType(org.apache.axis.Message.MIME_APPLICATION_DIME);
DataHandler dh = new
DataHandler(new FileDataSource(fileName));
AttachmentPart ap = new
AttachmentPart(dh);
MessageContext
context=MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
Message responseMessage =
context.getResponseMessage();
responseMessage.getAttachmentsImpl().addAttachmentPart(ap);
The difference
is, that gsoap only know the pratice of sending the attachments by a
Data-typ!?
If you
look at a gsoap SOAP-Trace, when sending a attachment, there is a href:cid:...
as attribute in the response-Element
of the
SOAP-Body, referencing the
attachment.
This is
the same prytice as sending a Datahandler in AXIS.
Can
someone please tell me if it is possible to send a attachment from AXIS to
gsoap?????????
--> A
YES or NO would be enough
Can
someone pls tell me whats the right way of making this
working?????????
Short
hints would be wonderfull - please!!! :)
It is
very interesting for us, if someone before make this
working????
Thanks
for help

Hi Thomas,
You can use any of the form u want.
But I dont know how your gsoap client will handle it. It is better if you
use the first way (Using Attachment Parts), where the attachment doesnt have
a reference in the SOAP Body. Here the one good thing u never need to modify
ur WSDL.
When u use the Datahandler way( In
line form), the experts say that there can be a problem when u send huge
files as attachemnts. Also u need to have the return parameters described in
the WSDL. Of course u can set the filename in the Datahandler itself.
But I dont think setting the filename
is a problem in the AttachmentParts way . You can set this in the SOAP
Header of the SOAPMessage using some handlers.
Please refer the following mail

Subject: SOAP with Attachments ?
Hello all,
I like to send an
attachment from my Service to the client.
So there are several possible
ways to go:
The first ist to place a attachment in the
responseMessage:
String fileName =
"C:\\WebService\\webapps\\PDMWebConnector\\arrow.gif";
//explicitly
set format to DIME, default is MIME
Message rspmsg =
AxisEngine.getCurrentMessageContext().getResponseMessage();
rspmsg.getAttachmentsImpl().setSendType(org.apache.axis.attachments.Attachme
nts.SEND_TYPE_DIME);
DataHandler
dh = new DataHandler(new FileDataSource(fileName));
if (dh == null )
System.err.println("dhSource is null");
AttachmentPart ap = new
AttachmentPart(dh);
rspmsg.addAttachmentPart(ap);
The
other way is to send back the datahandler itself
public
Datahandler download(java.lang.String request)
throws
java.rmi.RemoteException {
...
The difference is
in the SOAP-Message. If I send a Datahandler back,
I got a SOAP-Message
with a href in my SOAP-Body, referencing the
Attachment behind my
SOAP-Message.
In the other way, when I send back the added
AttchmentPart, I got no
reference in my
SOAP-Body.
Whats the
right way to go???
Is there a solution to place Filename or addional
information when I send a
Datahandler?
Please help me!
I
wanna send Data from a Java-Service to a gsoap Client!!!
Thanks
Tomi
