Then on the client side before you send of on the server side before you
do anything your going to have to unmarshall the XML into the object.
If your going to send it as an attachment, you would have to unmarshall
the XML into an object generally a bean (I think) and then add it as an
attachment. I think that if you're going to do this you will have to
use something other thatn SOAP. I believe it only has facilities for
unmarshalling into Envelopes, Body, and other SOAP nameed objects, I
don't think it has anything generic (I could be wrong though). For that
we are using Castor from http://www.exolab.org , there is also GLUE from
http://www.themindelectric.com I think if this isn't it just search for
themindelectric. Once you have unmarshalled into an object you would
then have to add it as an attachment which involves creating a
DataHandler see JAF Javabeans Activation Framework for how to do this,
and then add this datahandler to a BodyPart and set that bodypart into
the message that is going to be sent. The mime sample has an example
where it adds an attachment. To do it on the server side you would send
the XML as an attachment either as an XML file or a String. On the
server you would then extract the attachment and in the service you
would have to unmarshall it into the aformentioned object. The only
thing to think about is that unmarshalling is an expensive operation as
far as time, you might want to do it on the faster side.
