JDev: Generating Web Services for Streaming Attachments

Question

Hi,
I am a newbie in this field. I am trying to generate web service code using JDev (10.1.3.3). I have an interface class and the implementation class. When I am trying to generate J2EE Web Service for the implementation class, I am getting the following error:
"The selected class doesn't contain any public method publishable in a web service".
Following is my code:
Interface:
package testing;
import oracle.webservices.attachments.Attachments;
public interface ImageStore extends java.rmi.Remote {
public void storeImage (String name, String desc, Attachments attachments) throws java.rmi.RemoteException;
Impl:
package testing;
import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.activation.DataHandler;
import oracle.webservices.attachments.Attachment;
import oracle.webservices.attachments.Attachments;
import oracle.webservices.attachments.IncomingAttachments;
public class ImageStoreImpl {
public static String storeImage(String name, String desc, Attachments attachments) throws Exception {
IncomingAttachments incomingAtts = attachments.getIncomingAttachments();
if (incomingAtts == null || !incomingAtts.hasNextAttachment())
throw new Exception("Expected request attachments");
Attachment imageAtt = incomingAtts.nextAttachment();
String id = imageAtt.getId();
DataHandler dataHandler = imageAtt.getDataHandler();
InputStream imageStream = dataHandler.getInputStream();
//-- Store image metadata and stream image bytes
if (incomingAtts.hasNextAttachment())
throw new Exception("Expected only one attachment");
return "success";
Can someone please let me know how can I generate the web service for this code using JDev.
Thanks,
J

Hi J,
Why is the concrete class not implementing the ImageStore interface? Anyways, I believe the ImageStoreImpl#storeImage method cannot be static if you want to generate a WS.
Furthermore, you should consider posting your question in the JDev 10G (JDeveloper and ADF forum as this one is for 11G.
