Re: when to use SOAP attachment ?

[Dheeraj]

Hi Vishal,   You should yse attachments when you are planning to send the large amount of data. Because SOAP uses the existing MIME and DIME formats to send the data so no new invenstion and advantage is the SOAP processors does not have to do any processing work to get the attachments, because when we send the attachement in SOAP request the SOAP envelop contains only the reference to the actuall attachment data.   For each attachment there is a referece in the SOAP envelop and all attachment data is devided in parts some thine like ----Part--ID and at the end the close part line while tells the end of the attachment info.   Does that make sense.   If u need the actually code and format how it works, let me know.   thanks dheeraj   ----- Original Message ----- From: Vishal Shah To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 9:00 AM Subject: when to use SOAP attachment ? hi,   I'm looking for the SOAP attachment usage scenarios ?
