Attaching file to Web Service

Question

I have the this code inside my web method:
MessageContext context = null;
Message responseMessage = null;
SOAPBody responseBody = null;
SOAPEnvelope responseEnvelope = null;
SOAPElement responseElement = null;
context = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
if( context!=null )
responseMessage = context.getResponseMessage();
if( responseMessage!=null )
try {
responseBody = (SOAPBody)responseMessage.getSOAPBody();
} catch (SOAPException e) {
try {
responseEnvelope = responseMessage.getSOAPEnvelope();
} catch (AxisFault e) {
AttachmentPart attachPart = null;
DataHandler dh = new DataHandler( new FileDataSource("C:/t1.txt"));
attachPart = (AttachmentPart)responseMessage.createAttachmentPart(dh);
attachPart.setContentId("attachment-1");
responseMessage.addAttachmentPart(attachPart);
But a I have this error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: No support for attachments
Help me :(

I've just struggled though the same problem.
The Exception handling and logging around this area is a bit dodgy.
Ensure that you have:
-javax.activation.DataHandler (activation.jar)
-javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart (mailapi.jar)
in your classpath.
If the code cannot find these classes, it thows an exception which is silently handled...
