It looks like the wsdl generation problem is a feature. I found lots of
messages in the archive about it occurring with the attachments sample
and in some other situations-- no solution was ever provided. The
consensus seemed to be that the service works fine nevertheless.
The runtime exception was a separate problem, apparently a classloading
precedence issue. I corrected it by putting mail.jar and activation.jar
in the same folder. Other solutions mentioned at some other sites were
matching the versions of those two jars and configuring the mailcap
file. Neither of these seemed necessary in my case.
I'd still like to know if anyone has an explanation or can point me to a
link explaining how the attachments sample works.
Also, does anyone know if Axis 1.2 supports generating skeletons and
stubs when SOAP attachments are used? I saw a message from a couple
years ago that that wasn't supported. I'm going to try doing so with a
wsdl built per the wsdl spec on attachments, but I'd like to know if I'm
swinging at a windmill.

Hi,

windows 2000, axis 1.2, jdk 1.5.0_01-b08, tomcat 5

I got it from

Thanks. I do have activation.jar and mail.jar in the classpath. The
runtime error does seem to indicate that a library is missing, while
the WSDLException seems to indicate someting wrong in the wsdd. But
the wsdd is what came with the Axis distribution, and it looks correct
to me. As for a missing library, see below what I have in
AXISCLASSPATH. I use this for classpath when I deploy the service and
when I run the client. BTW, I'm using XP Pro SP2, jdk 1.5, Tomcat
5.5.8, Axis 1.2RC3.

Subject: SOAP Attachments -- Example Doesn't Work
I have Axis 1.2 RC3 in Tomcat 5.5.8, and I tried to call the sample
<br>attachments service
(samples.attachments.EchoAttachmentsService).with <br>the sample
client (samples.attachments.EchoAttachment). I deployed the
<br>service with the attachdeploy.wsdd in the samples/attachments
directory, <br>and it seemed to be successful. The Axis servlet
displays the service in <br>the list of deployed services, but when I
click on the wsdl link I get <br>the following:<br><br><br> AXIS

also<br>a method attachments() which accepts and returns a
org.w3c.DOM.Document object. The implementation shows that the
Document<br>has href attributes that point to other MIME parts, which
is what I was expecting to see in the wsdl. But the
attachments()<br>method isn't called by the client at all, and there
is no mention of a MIME structure in the wsdl for this method. Is
this <br>method called by the DataHandler objects that are passed via
echo() and echoDir()? If not, how does it get called?<br>I know it
does, because it threw a "no support for attachments" excpetion when
I didn't have mail.jar in the classpath. Can<br>anyone point me to
any documentation on how attachments are implemented in
Axis?<br><br>-Mark<br><br><br><br><br><br>
