How to send soap attachment without SAAJ
I have to send XML or text file as an attachment in the web service, just like email attachment. Currently I am intercepting the SOAP message (sent from web service client) and then adding an attachment using SAAJ. Can we send an attachment without intercepting and SAAJ in netbeans just like how we send other data (with basic datatypes ) as parameters to the web service operation ?
TIA.
Soap is a protocol that runs over TCP (sockets.) You can build the entire soap message by hand if you want to.
That said adding something is dependent on the fact that the other side will consume it.

How to send an attached folder without compressing?
When using Mail 2.1.3 on 10.4.11 and sending more than one photo, I like to put them in a folder, so they get better organized. However, the application Mail will zip this folder on sending. Sometimes my recipients (on PC) have then difficulties opening this zipped folder. I don't want to tell them "you should install this and that application for unzipping".
In settings of Mail I find no checkbox for this- it does it by itself...
Is there any way to send an attached folder without compressing it, just plain?Frederick,
thank you for the reply.
Maybe I did not explain clearly enough. Let's say I have ten JPEGs. I make a new folder in Finder, call it "Pictures" or so, put the JPEGs in it and then, after writing the mail, I click "attach" and select the newly generated folder so that it will be attached. In the outgoing window of the mail I see it then as the "Pictures" folder. The recipient then gets the mail with an attachment called "pictures.zip" that calls for an unzip application in order to take a look at those JPEGs.
Now the problem is, Mail app will automatically make a zip out of it. Yes, I have "Send PC-compatible" turned on. I use, b.t.w. plain text, not formatted. Some recipients have no problems with the zip, I know, but some do have.
I want Mail to send the folder without zipping it. Making it a little bit smaller in size is (indeed only a little bit!), in many cases, not necessary and, like I wrote, often only confusing (especially when the recipient PC asks "...this is a programme, do you want it to open?- Of course, most reasonable users are afraid of those messages!).
The point is, my application is doing something that I don't want and I find no way to tell it "please, no". -

How to send SOAP Message with Oracle B2B
Hi everyone,
I need your help to send out from Oracle B2B a SOAP message with attachment of any type of file (image, pdf, etc.). Possibly using a SOA composite application or another way, it doesn't matter. I already create an ebMS partnership with a custom document protocol and I already create a working SOA composite application to send only text message to my trading partner. I have tried this solution: http://anuj-dwivedi.blogspot.it/2011/04/ebms-attachment-handling-in-oracle-b2b.html but it doesn't work for my case... It is to be noticed that I don't give any schema to my component in the SOA application explained firstly, and I select opaque as schema.
Thanks to all, regards

The code works fine on the other trading partner side to send ebXML message to Oracle B2B. Apart from this solution (however,it would be my favorite), I find your blog and I try to implement your solution. It works: it sends files with only text payload to the other trading partner without any problem, but if I try to send for example an image in byte array written in a file .txt, the ebxml file received has the byte array with wrong characters. it may be that I have not provided the xsd schema? in case if I wanted to send an ebXML message with text and attachments, what xsd schema do I need to provide?
or is there another way to implement a SOA composite application to send SOAP messages with attachments?
Thank for your help!, regards

How to send SOAP Message with attachments?
Hi All,
I am working on a SOAP to RFC Scenario With specific requirement of handling the attachment(Mainly Excel Attachments) at the Sender SOAP Adapter.
Kindly Suggest.
I found lot of theoritical stuff but no practical scenario.
Regards,
SachiHi Sachi,
To handle attachment in SOAP sender adapter first of all you will have to use the AXIS message protocol.
Then by using MessageTransformBean you can handle the attachment.
1) Check this link for the module processing sequence used to get the attachment from SOAP
SOAP Axis sender with CSV file attachment
2) Check this blog which will help you on the usage of MessageTransformBean
Solve Key Field Problem using StructPlain2XML in MessageTransformationBean!!
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/24/4cad3baabd4737bab64d0201bc0c6c/frameset.htm
using MessageTransformBean you can handle only the text file attachments like comma separated file, pipe separated, fixed lengths etc. But if you are looking to handle a excel file you will have to use a java mapping to get the data from excel attached file. for this have a look at this following blog by Shabarish:
Excel Files - How to handle them in SAP XI/PI (The Alternatives)
Do remember to use SOAP Axis adapter and to tick the keep attachment option.
Hope this helps.

How to send the email without using server side (Php, java)
How to send the (Run time image or file) Email & Attachment in Flex web application. without using php, java.
Well, at some point your email needs to be handed over to an SMTP server. It's a fair amount of work, but if you want to just send an email you could open a socket to a mail server's SMTP port and follow the SMTP protocols to send your email.

How to send SOAP request by HTTP POST?
I want to access a SOAP webservice using mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService.
Following is my code:
<mx:WebService id="miner_service" wsdl="http://localhost:8080"> <mx:operation name="hello" result="echoResultHandler(event);"></mx:operation></mx:WebService>
When debugging with that, I got such error message:
[Fault] exception, information=[RPC Fault faultString="HTTP request error" faultCode="Server.Error.Request" faultDetail="Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://localhost:8080)"]
Then I use Fiddler try to capture the response returned by server, it's like this:
Error responseError code 501. Message: Unsupported method ('GET'). Error code explanation: 501 = Server does not support this operation.
But when I use python to send SOAP request by HTTP POST, the server will return correct response.
So how can I send SOAP request by HTTP POST?
(I tried <mx:WebService wsdl="http://localhost:8080" method="POST">, but no luck..)Sorry for my late reply..
There's no WSDL for that SOAP service -
