In other words, if your current call looks like void PutFile(MetaDataBean metaData, DataHandler data) you could public class FileBundle extends MetaDataBean { private DataHandler data; public DataHandler getData() {return data;} public void setData(DataHandler data) {this.data = data;} } FileBundle GetFile(String path) On 26 Jun 2003 at 12:06, Wei Li wrote: > Hi, > > We are using apache soap attachment to upload and download data using WebSphere. > > We can send a JavaBean along with a DataHandler to the server to do upload, the Bean > can have all the meta data needed for handling this DataHandler.
