Dear Sir, Your prompt replies are appreciable. However i have encountered a minor problem while downloading the attachements from bugzilla (http://nagoya.apache.org/), under bug #11728. Iam using Windows Operating System and What is being downloaded is a .cgi file called showattachment.cgi. I tried opening the file in WINZIP, and what i see is a lot of gibberish code randomly arranged. Some Source Codes like the SoapReader Class and its associated Parent Classes are visible which i have managed to spearate. Kindly do inform me if i have to recompile all the classes all over again which seems quite tedious since all the classes are interlinked and the remaining code is all binary data) or have i downloaded the wrong patch. Sori for the bother. Thanx and regards Deepak
