Hi all,
Could anyone please offer some advice on the following ? Thanks a lot in
advance.
Is there an easy way to configure the high-level RPC tools (rpc router,
wsdl2java) to serialize some binary info into *soap attachments* ?
Eg, suppose my web service returns Employee objects, containing a name and a
binary image : class Employee {String name;Image img;}
Now, I *do* understand how to:
1) Write explicit code to send/receive soap message + attachments. It works,
but it's dirty - doesn't take advantage of neither rpcrouter nor wsdl2java.
2) Use rpcrouter (or the newer axis/services) servlet to deloy a Service,
telling it how to Serialize Images. Then, use wsdl2java to create a client
stub, and tell it how to de-serialize Images.
That's ok, but I don't think it uses soap *attachments* - does it ?
(I've made a test - created a wsdl with attachments and ran wsdl2java on it.
It doesn't issue any errors, but it seems to completely ignore attachments).
So, my question:
3) Is there an easy way to tell the rpcrouter (or axis/services) servlet to
serialize employee images using *attachments* , and similarly tell the
cilent stub(generated by wsdl2java) to search for images in a soap
attachment ?
Thanks again
Sol
