I am experimenting sending objects as attachments. So far I have found out that it can be done using ByteArrayDataSource taken from the old Apache SOAP. I modified this to add a constructor that takes my object and converts it to a byte array and I can then send and receive arbitary objects that implement serializable. By experimentation I found that the mime type must be set to "application/octet-stream".
 
All the above was worked out by trial and error with hints from list postings.  I note that ByteArrayDataSource isn't present in Axis RC1 so I guess there is a better way of doing what I want to do. So what is it ?
