Subject: SOAP attachment Question


> Is it possible for a client application to get back data as MIME attachment 
> from a web service?
> From the example code snippets below, the service successfully attaches a 
> file to a SOAP message
> but when the client application tries to get the attachments count, it is 
> zero. Any ideas why?
