Hello Harleen,
              Check the following links, where you can send the text files as attachments.

  • SOAP with attachments, attachment streaming

    Hello all,
    We are currently in the process of designing an integration service that uses web services (SOAP) as the means of communication.
    There are very large binary attachments included with these SOAP messages. MTOM ja SAAJ are to be used (propably CXF).
    However, as these attachments are very large (100MB), I would like to stream the attachments "through" the integration server.
    Is this possible? Can I somehow stream the SOAP attachment from the source system directly into the target without saving it as a whole into the integrating server application?
    Thank you for all your help! All solution suggestions are apprechiated :-)

    Hi Aalap,
    In version 1 of WebLogic Workshop SOAP attachments are not supported.
    Attachments will be supported in the next version. If support for SOAP
    attachment is an important requirement for you application, you can use
    WebLogic Web Services which supports SOAP Attachments.
    Please refer to the following document for more information on this

    Hi,
    Does Workshop support SOAP with Attachments? I am writing a web servicewhich
    serves files (like MS-Word documents etc) to clients upon receiving theirrequest.
    So what are the various options for sending the file to the client?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Streaming soap with attachments

    dear all
    this might be a piece of cake for some of you out there but it is causing me a lot of stress given the fact that there is not enogh documentation out there regarding this topic
    I am writing a web service that uses soap with attachments to send a large streaming data,
    The concept works quite well but when I started to test it I got this problem.
    When my client program calls a method that should return a real time data the streaming starts after 10 seconds
    How can I avoid the fact that the message calls waits that long before the data starts streaming in?
    To be more specific
    I have a method that returns a streaming data in 10 seconds [getSteamingData(long seconds)]
    I would like to test if I already get some data steaming in after one second of it starts.
    To do so I started a thread that checks the OutputSteam size every 1 second and then compare the result with the previous size say a second ago, there should be an increase in size each second!!!
    But when I start the thread? the streaming does not start right away instead, it starts after 10 seconds causing the thread to return null size
    In real life with real large streaming data that 10 seconds could be 10 hours or God forbidden 10 years
    Is there a way around or is that not possible in SwA?
    Anybody have any idea
    thanks in advance

    Hi David,
    The "covert byte[] to a base64 encoded string" solution, is probably your best
    bet given the scenario you described.

    what
    is the best approach in order to send a SOAP message which has binary

    My EJB is currently receiving a byte[] and returning also a byte[]. The
    only solution
    I can think of right now is to convert the byte[] into a String in base64
    format.
    Would you recommend that?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Binary Attachments - MTOM vs. SOAP with Attachments

    Hello everybody,
    i am kind of stuck by implementing a soap to proxy scenario! I wanted to use MTOM to transfer the messages together with the attachments, but until now i couldn't find out if this is possible at all using the ws-adapter with backend proxy (version 701)!
    I have seen this already:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/de/48/d5a1fe5f317a4e8e35801ed2c88246/frameset.htm
    unfortunately im not a abap coder, but i can see using attachments in proxys should work!
    But how? Am i forced to used soap with attachments on sending webservice? If yes, have you got an example for me?
    I would appreciate any help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Markus

    Hi Amar,
    thanks for your reply, i know the mtom theory, but i don't know how to do it with sap pi on proxy side!
    (By the way, your link throws a 404!)
    Using soap adapter with enabled "keep Attachments" option, the MTOM-Attachment is getting processed, but on proxy side, using soap adapter (keeping attachments) to call proxy, it crashes on the backend side (version 701).
    I tried to make a webservice out of the proxy in soamanager, but i didn't get this working, as i have never done this. Also i didn't find an option for mtom in soamanager. I am also wondering why mtom is only supported in ws-adapter 7.10 but not in 7.11, why is this? And is it possible to use soap-adapter on OB-side and WS-Adapter on IB-side, or can i only use ws-adapter for direct communication?
    Lot's of questions i am facing ;-)...
    Kind regards,
    Markus

  • Web Service with attachments (SOAP with attachments) without PI

    Hi,
    Is it possible to send across file(say PDF) using ABAP web services. I know it can be done with Java using SOAP with attachments. Is something similar available for ABAP ? since if we transfer raw binary data as type string / xstring it may have a performance impact.
    I could not see any option for attachments when using web service wizard from SE37 / soamanager
    Note I am not using PI, this Web service would be consumed by a 3rd party tool. There is very little material available on transferring files using web service with SOAP attachments.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    Hi thanks for your input, but did you have to encode your binary data stream in say Base64 / utf-8 ? Also if you are transferring files in bulk(say 10 -100 files)  how does your web  service indicate end of one file or what is the best way so as to avoid performance problems.
    Regards,
    Aditya

  • Can Oracle BPEL handle Doc/Lit SOAP with Attachments?

    I have successfully followed the instructions for using Oracle BPEL 10.1.3.4 to handle SOAP With Attachments with an RPC-style WSDL, detailed here:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28981/manipdoc.htm#sthref955
    I have a simple Echo service that receives and attachment and responds with the same attachment.
    I actually would like to accomplish the same thing using a Doc/Literal Wrapped WSDL. My initial testing shows that BPEL can indeed receive the attachment ( I can see it in the dehydration store), but it is not added to the response.
    Is this possible using Doc/Lit with SwA in BPEL 10.1.3.4?

    As I've investigated the issue some more, I've found that the real issue is receiving an attachment on the SOAP response from the BPEL process. Using a Doc/Lit-Wrapped WSDL, I can receive a request with an attachment, and add it to outgoing requests successfully. But when I do a straight copy from the request message to the response message (Echo Service), the response contains the correct "href" attribute but there is no attachment, and moreover, no MIME multipart message is returned.
    NOTE: I was successful in using an RPC/Literal WSDL to accomplish the successful echo of the attachment.
    Also, when looking in the OPMN logs, I see the following line for the RPC-based BPEL process, but not for the Doc/Lit:
    <2009-11-23 13:43:35,684> <DEBUG> <attachment.collaxa.cube.engine> <CXBinaryDataHandler::createDataSource> for binary location=uuid:aaa091d17e1b5545:67c00c53:1252285bf07:-7fc2
    <2009-11-23 13:43:35,716> <DEBUG> <attachment.collaxa.cube.engine.data> <ConnectionFactory::getConnection> GOT CONNECTION 1 Autocommit = false
    <2009-11-23 13:43:35,716> <DEBUG> <attachment.collaxa.cube.engine> <CXBinaryDataHandler::createDataSource> for binary location=uuid:aaa091d17e1b5545:67c00c53:1252285bf07:-7fc1
    and the "binary location" value corresponds with the "href" attribute seen in the BPEL audit logs.

  • BPEL 11g SOAP with Attachments

    Does anyone have any examples utilizing SOAP with Attachments with BPEL 11g?
    I have previously worked with SwA in BPEL 10g, but I have not been able to successfully port my BPEL projects to 11g. I am able to send in an attachment without error, but the outgoing requests and/or responses do not contain the attachment as they should.
    Note: I am trying to use traditional SOAP with Attachments (hrefs) and not MTOM

    Hi ,
    Even we too have same requirement where soap with attachment (swa) has to pass through bpel process(11g).You hava mentioned that ur able to attach file to req..please can u share your sample for reference.
    Thanks for suggestions.

  • How to create Inbound SOAP With Attachments

    Hi All,
    Does someone know how to create an Inbound SOAP Message (from SAP XI to a Business System) with attachments?
    We get an Idoc from a SAP R/3 system and transform this Idoc to an other XML format messages, but we want this message as an attachment and not as the payload in the SOAP Envelope.
    We tried the PayloadSwapBean module, but we don't have an attachment to swap with, but maybe we used the wrong paramaters.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Hi Stefan,
    Does this quick response mean I challenged you?
    Our scenario is that we send an IDoc (ORDERS05) from our R/3-backend-system to XI (3.0/SP15). In an integration process (A/S-bridge) we transform this IDoc to an UBL-Order XML-message, and we want to send this XML-message as an attachment to a (synchronous) SOAP-call to a vendor. Like I said, despite the SAPHelp-content, we don't get this working. Whatever we try, the UBL-Ordermessage is contained in the SOAP-body.
    What makes it even more strange, is that XI itself is based on the SOAP-with-attachments-standard...
    So, any help is much appreciated!
    Regards, Fred

  • Query on SOAP with attachments with Weblogic

    Hi all,
    I'm new to webservice and workshop, and I have to develop a webservice using bea workshop to be able to process multiple files and store it on a document server. I suppose that the webservice clients will be able to formulate their request in the form of SOAP messages with attachments(documents to be stored), but I'm not sure whether this is the best method and weblogic(8.1) supports it.
    Currently I have created a jws file which has successfully connected and been authenticated by the Document server, so for my next step, I'm trying to create a new file in the document server but I'm stuck at trying to write code to get attachment from the SOAP message in the jws file. Can anyone enlighten me?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    WebLogic Workshop web services can exchange one or more SOAP attachments.
    There is a sample and information on how to do that under the link
    http://e-docs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/workshop/guide/getstarted/conUsingSOAPAttachments.html
    Thanks

  • Soap with attachments

    I am a newbie to Soap do anyone have examples on soap with attachment.My requirement I need to send a zip file as an attachment from server to client using soap protocol and download that on client.I think we can do with SAAJ but do anyone have example..I need it immediately.Thanks in advance.
    Ragavendra.

    The jwsdp 1.1 tutorial has an example of using saaj to add an attachment to a soap message. See JWSDP_HOME\docs\tutorial\doc\JAXM5.html and search for "Adding Attachments". For attaching a zip file, a DataHandler is probably easiest:
    DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(new FileDataSource("skwish.zip"));
    AttachmentPart attachment = message.createAttachmentPart(dh);
    attachment.setContentId("zip_data"); // optional
    message.addAttachmentPart(attachment); Mike

  • Write into existing file with "write to text file"

    Hi all,
     I have a text file that contains several lines of data (text). Now I would like to replace the first three lines with text coming from a string array.
    My approach is shown in WriteToFile.vi that is attached.
    When I am executing this vi (with an empty file), everything seems to be working fine in the first place.
    The file will contain the following text:
    oneoneone
    twotwotwo
    threethreethree
    Now, when the third element in the array is shortened (lets say to "threethr") before execution,  the file will contain  the following text:
    (the file was not emptied before execution)
    oneoneone
    twotwotwo
    threethr
    three
    How can I avoid the last line being written? I have made many tests and I could not find a solution.
    One more example:
    Lets say we have an existing file, inside this file is:
    oneoneone
    twotwotwo
    three
    fourfourfour
    Now I would like to overwrite line three with "threethreethree". Therefore I execute my vi as shown in the attachment.
    What I get as a result is:
    oneoneone
    twotwotwo
    threethreethree
    ur
    So, the text in line four, which should not be touched, is "ur" instead of "fourfourfour".
    Any idea to solve this problem?
    What I basically need is replacing a line of a text file in a conveinient way.
    Thanks,

    The remaining fourth line is there because the third line has a <nl> at the end. You have not emptied the file so the rest of the file will be kept. This is because your line is shorter.
    In the scond example the third line is longer and it will overwrite the beginning of the fourth line.
    Files aren't organized in lines they are oganized in bytes. And what you write are bytes to the file even with text files.
    Replacing a single line in a file is done by reading the file line by line. All unchanged lines are written to a temporary file and the line with the new text will be written instead of the original line to the temporary file. When the writting is done rename the original file, then rename the new file into the original file and then delete the renamed original file.

  • WLS7 WebServices SOAP with attachments problem

    I have implemented a WebService in Weblogic. If I use the standard Sun
              JAXM library to invoke the service without any attachments, it works
              fine. However, if I use the standard JAXM functionality to add a gif
              image to the message, Weblogic throws an exception (attached below)
              before it even invokes the handler class for my Web Service.
              Basically, the JAXM library does not insert the "start=..." element in
              the top level "Content-Type" HTTP header field. Should Weblogic cope
              with this, or is it not designed to work with the Sun JAXM library. I
              am using the latest version of the Sun WebServices Developers Kit and,
              hence, the latest version of the JAXM library. Do BEA recommend a
              different client library be used to invoke Weblogic WebServices? If
              so which one(s) are supported?
              I have another question. Assuming I can find a client which will
              deliver to Weblogic an HTTP SOAP mesage that it considers to be valid,
              how do attachments get passed to the "component" class? I understand
              how I could iterate through the mime segments / attachments from
              within the "handler", but I don't understand how / if attachments are
              passed onto the actual component class. Reading from the FAQ:
              Q. Does WebLogic Server 7.0 support SOAP Messages with Attachments?
              A. Yes. As long as the data type of the attachment is on the list of
              supported JAX-RPC data types, then WebLogic Server will automatically
              handle parameters to Web services that are SOAP attachments. If you
              want to do further processing of the attachment, you can use handlers
              to intercept the request and response SOAP message (which includes the
              attachment.)
              I get the impression that attachments are "magically" available to
              code within the component, but I don't understand the actual mechanics
              of this.
              Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
              Cheers,
              Steve

  • How to create Base Dimensions with MaxL and Text File?

    Hi,
    Doing a scratch rebuild of a cube every month. Don't want to have a 'dummy' outline with base dimensions to copy over every build. Instead want to build from text file somehow. Thus my plan is to: 1) Delete the existing app/db 2) Create a new blank app/db 3) Create the base dimensions in the outline via text file and 4) Build entire outline via a text file. I'm stuck on #3 how to get the 'base dimensions' built via text file. I need:
    ACCOUNTS
    PERIOD
    VALUE
    VIEWS
    SCENARIO
    CUSTOM4
    YEAR
    CUSTOM3
    CUSTOM2
    ENTITY
    CUSTOM1
    I see this MaxL, but it uses a 'rules file' and I never have built a rules file to create base dims so I'm confused if it's possible or not...
    import database sample.basic dimensions
    from data_file '/data/calcdat.txt'
    using rules_file '/data/rulesfile.rul'
    on error append to '/logs/dimbuild.log';

    We rebuild our Departments and Organization from an enterprise hierarchy master each week.
    The way we implemented (what you call #3) was to not do #1 and #2, but to have a "destructive" load rule for each of these dimensions using a text file. (in the "Dimension Build Settings" for the load rule, select "Remove Unspecified" to make it destructive)
    The text file just has the dimension name (parent) and any children we needed defined in a parent/child relationship. For instance
    "Sales Departments" "0100-All Departments"
    This essentially works the same as deleting the app because the destructive load rules will drop all the blocks of data that were unspecified.
    Then we run our SQL load rule to build the rest of the dimensions from the Location Master.
    We perform a level-0 export prior to this process, then reload the level-0 data and execute all the consolidation scripts to get the data back (now in a current enterprise defined hierarchy)

  • Working with UTF-8 text files as if they were ANSI?

    I have a text file saved in UTF-8, containing several characters from different languages. It's created in Notepad.
    I want to read that file into my Java application, which before only was used with regular ANSI .txt files.
    When showing the contents of the file on the screen (Swing GUI), the text is totally distorted. The application obviously doesn't understand from the beginning that the text file is encoded with UTF-8.
    Somehow I must convert the information in the file so that
    1) I can process the UTF-8 text in all String functions as if it were common ANSI text, and
    2) I can show the contents of those Strings on the screen in my Java application, and making it look like it should, whether it's English or Russian.
    Does anyone here have any tips or code samples that I can use?
    Thanks

    That is kind of what I'm trying to find out, how to read the file...
    When I read a text file that is saved as UTF-8, the letters don't show properly on the screen. Instead of, for example, a Pi symbol I would get a ?� or something.
    Though if I hardcode a String object that contains "\u0030" or a similar Unicode character, it shows properly.
    How do you read in the file???
    When you read in the file, you have to take the
    encoding into account.
    Take a look at InputStreamReader. This class allows
    you to specify the character encoding you will use.
