Hi, You'll find a sample problem in [AXIS_HOME]/samples/attachements and especially EchoAttachementsService.java
Of particular interest to you would be the line that says: org.apache.axis.MessageContext msgContext = org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext(); >From the message context one can get a reference to the Message which can be used to get AttachementParts if my memory is correct. Take a look at the sample and it should all become obvious. ----- Jason Judt - Software Engineer Architecture Technology Corporation (952) 829 - 5864 x137 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg Cawthorn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 9:03 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Extracting attachments from messaging service calls > > Hello, > > I am submitting a SOAP message with an attachment to a web service using > Axis 1.1.
