RE: [Axis2] Help with SwA

[Ben Malek, Hamid]

I have a big problem making Axis2 work fine with SwA. 1.    The first problem is that I could not find any documentation on how to programmatically construct a SwA SOAP message using AXIOM API only. You can only construct MTOM SOAP messages with Axiom but not SwA. The example of SwA given by axis2 is just reading a SwA message from a file (the file already contains a serialized SwA message). 2.    The second problem is that it seems to me so far that axis2 only support SwA in one direction only. That is, the axis servlet is able to parse a SwA message from the servlet input stream (and it stores the attachments in an Attachments object as a property of the MessageContext). However, this attachments object is not used anywhere in the code. This means that if a service is returning a SwA message (not an MTOM message), axis2 will only serialize the SOAP envelope without the attachments. The http transport senders only serialize the SOAP envelope on the wire but not the attachments (maybe they do it for an MTOM message, but they do not do it for a SwA message since the attachments object of the MessageContext is not used at all in the code except when parsing the input stream in the axis servlet).   Please correct me if I am wrong.   Thank you very much for any help.   Hamid.
