Receive attachments with AS2 in Oracle B2B

Question

Is it possible to receive files (.doc, pdf etc..) as attachments when using the AS2 message protocol? If so, how to setup in Oracle B2B?
Thanks for your help.

Anuj,
As per your blog on sending attachments in ebMS, I setup the attachment.xsd and the corresponding xml file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Attachments xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" boundary="">
<AttachmentPart>
<Location>file:///home/rramanat/datafiles/EPCOD_PayableInvoice_PIDX1.2_Custom_123
45.xml</Location>
<Content-Type>
<Top-Level-Type>application</Top-Level-Type>
<Sub-Type>xml</Sub-Type>
</Content-Type>
<Content-Transfer-Encoding>8bit</Content-Transfer-Encoding>
<Content-ID>1221</Content-ID>
<Content-Description/>
</AttachmentPart>
</Attachments>
The location of the actual attachment file has been specified as absolute path on the server on which the Oracle B2B is running.
I put this attachment.xml file in a folder and configured B2B listener to pick up the file. The attachment.xml file gets picked up and transmitted to the Receiver Oracle B2B but I don't see the actual attached file in the attachments folder in the target system. The B2B property b2b.attachments.dir has been setup on the target Oracle B2B instance.
Your help is appreciated.
