returning multiple parameters - including datahandler

[john smith]

Hi All,

 

I am new to Axis. I have a simple SOAP service which returns a datahandler.

 

I also want to return another paramater such as filesize or filename in my message body. What is a good way to do this? Does anyone have any code examples? I am using Axis 1.1.

 

Basically I want the body to contain

<myparameter> myvalue <myparameter>

 

Below is my client and service.

 

Client:

  call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpointURL) );
  call.setOperationName( new QName("urn:dhService", "myMethod") );
  call.addParameter( "arg1", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);

  QName qnameAttachment = new QName("urn:dhService", "DataHandler");

  call.registerTypeMapping(javax.activation.DataHandler.class,
                  qnameAttachment,
                   JAFDataHandlerSerializerFactory.class,
                   JAFDataHandlerDeserializerFactory.class);
   call.setReturnType(qnameAttachment);
   DataHandler ret = (DataHandler) call.invoke( new Object [] { textToSend } );

 

Service:

public DataHandler myMethod(String arg)

{
   try {
     URL url = "" URL("file:///myfile.txt");
     DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(url);
     return dh;
     ...

 

This produces the following XML response:

 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/xml"; start="<8740D307B85F91BD06BF53BA1D26550C>";  boundary="----=_Part_2_15198443.1101775257325"
