Have you tried sending your binary data as atrtachments? As I understand, the way you
are doing it, the binary data is encoded as a part of the SOPA message which causes
problems when large binary data is invloved. Here is whatI did on my service side to
put the attachements in the response -
org.apache.axis.MessageContext messageContext =
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
org.apache.axis.Message responseMessage = messageContext.getResponseMessage();
responseMessage.addAttachmentPart(new AttachmentPart(dh));
responseMessage.addAttachmentPart(new AttachmentPart(dh1));
Here is what I did on my client side to receive the attachments -
String returnValue = (String) call.invoke(array);
System.out.println("The return value is -> "+returnValue);
org.apache.axis.MessageContext messageContext = call.getMessageContext();
org.apache.axis.Message returnedMessage =
messageContext.getResponseMessage();
System.out.println("Number of attachments is ->
"+returnedMessage.countAttachments());
returnedMessage.getAttachments()
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Subject: Sending Array of DataHandlers to SOAP Service ??
Hi All,
I'm having trouble getting the WSDD stanzas correct to send
an ARRAY of DataHandlers (DataHandler[]) to an Axis service.
I have been successfully using the SAAJ (SOAPConnection) API
to send/receive SINGLE attachments as DataHandlers for some time now. (working WSDD
shown below)
I create a SOAPConnectionn, SOAPMessage, etc., populate
the SOAPMessage, and call
soapConnection.call(soapMessage, mEndPointURLString);
The service method signature is:
public DataHandler convert(DataHandler dh,
String host,
String port,
String user )
throws IOException {
This all works fine to send a SINGLE attachment parameter,
with the wsdd line of:
<parameter name="dh" type="ns1:DataHandler"/> (highlighted below)
for the DataHandler parameter.
The only relevant difference (besides different method and parameter names) with my
new client/service is that I'm packing 6 attachments into the request msg instead of
1. The other parameters are still just Strings.
For this one, the service signature takes an array of DataHandlers:
public DataHandler submit(DataHandler[] dh,
String host,
String port,
String user )
throws IOException {
I see various WSDD examples on the internet for array types, some with special
<typeMapping> stanzas for the array (eg. ArrayOfString)
Obviously I'm missing something here re: SOAP array handling for special types such as
DataHandler[].
Can someone take a look at the wsdd at the end of this email and tell me if you see
something obviously wrong and how to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! Bill
