I'm playing around with JINI (still), and I'm wondering about attachments so large streams and documents can be easily attached in service calls much like what happens behind the scenes with SOAP. AXIS is a good example in that with AXIS we can use FileDataSource (or any DataSource as long as there is a deserializer for it) http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/javadocs/javax/activation/FileDataSource.html
and then the APIs of AXIS will handle the streaming of the datasource embedded in the call. I know I can do it with loops and custom things calling other methods to send a file etc, but I thought I would see what if anything was available or being planned by anyone else. This would be for proxy services and not smart proxies where the code would reside in the same JVM.
