I have a requirement where in I have to read the contents of a config file (in 
my web service ) which the client would specify.  I was planning to use SOAP 
with Attachments (SwA).  But due to some business level security concern, I was 
told that I cannot use the attachment feature (constraint is ... no file should 
be written to the disk of hosting server).

My question is ... is it possible for a web service to take a file input 
stream, so that it can read the file contents (from the client code, the file 
will be opened and the file input stream will be passed)

Similarly, is it possible for the service to return a file output stream to the 
client, so that the file can be written to the client's machine?

Any pointers / samples would be much appreciated.
