Sure. All you need to do is base64 encode the Word doc and mark the return datatype as xsl:base64binary. I am doing this in reverse where I create a PDF within Java and return is to a SOAP Toolkit 2.0 client. Use the org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.Base64 class for decoding the base64 binary data. --
