JAX RI:javax.activation.DataHandler cannot be cast to com.sun.xml.ws.....

Question

I'm newbie in web services, and I would like to create web service for upload files.
Axis2 is installed, and I tried to implement some solutions I found on the web, but i got an error:
javax.activation.DataHandler cannot be cast to com.sun.xml.ws.developer.StreaminDataHandler
on server side code looks like:
@WebMethod(operationName = "getHeight")
public int getHeight(String name, @XmlMimeType("application/octet-stream") DataHandler data) {
StreamingDataHandler dh = (StreamingDataHandler) data; //this is where error occurs..
on client side:
tt=new javax.activation.FileDataSource("c:\\myImage.jpg");
dhh=new javax.activation.DataHandler(tt);
int r=port.getHeight("name", dhh);
tnx :)

Hi dKohlert,
I have now changed my code completely and got it working this way !
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
import javax.xml.ws.Provider;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
import javax.xml.ws.ServiceMode;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceProvider;
* @author Footman
@ServiceMode(value=Service.Mode.MESSAGE)
@WebServiceProvider( targetNamespace="http://spblue.liberty:8084/wsdl/globalLogout")
//@WebService(name="GlobalLogoutService", targetNamespace="http://spblue.liberty:8084/wsdl/globalLogout")
public class GlobalLogoutServiceImpl implements Provider<SOAPMessage> {
@WebMethod(operationName ="globalLogout", action="urn:liberty:soap-action")
    public SOAPMessage invoke(@WebParam(name = "logoutRequest") SOAPMessage logoutRequest ){
        return logoutRequest;
    }Thanks anyway for your reply. If I find some time I will try to use the apt-tool.
