Retriving .doc and .rtf files in soap attachments

Question

Please help me
I'm using JAXM to retrive soap attachments
When i retrive txt files (.txt) it retrivs the content of the document
without any problem but when i try to retrive .doc or rtf
it gives content as
java.io.FileInputStream@587c94
(retrive attached files which are recived from client)
how do i get the content from word or rtf document
this is the way i tried to get the content
while (it.hasNext()) {
AttachmentPart ap = (AttachmentPart)it.next();
contentType = ap.getContentType();
content =(String)ap.getContent();
p.println("content---->"+content);//wrriting to text file
System.out.println("*** attachment content: " + content);
thanks nams

Here is the code I used to send and receive a PDF file as a SOAP attachment. Note that if the sender uses a DataHandler for the attachment's content, there's no need to set the MIME type explicitly because the DataHandler does it for you.
* Sender
// create the data source and data handler
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("form.pdf");
DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(source);
// create attachment for message
AttachmentPart attachment = message.createAttachmentPart(handler);
// set content id (optional)
attachment.setContentId("enrollment_form");
// add attachment to message
message.addAttachmentPart(attachment);
// send message
providerConnection.send(message);
* Recipient
public class Receiver extends JAXMServlet implements OnewayListener {
   public void onMessage(SOAPMessage message) {
      // get attachment
      Iterator it = message.getAttachments();
      AttachmentPart attachment = (AttachmentPart) it.next();
      if (attachment.getContentType().equals("application/pdf")) {
          // read contents into byte buffer
          ByteArrayInputStream contentStream =
              (ByteArrayInputStream)attachment.getContent();
          // use standard Java I/O methods to save in file
          int bytesToRead = contentStream.available();
          byte[] buffer = new byte[bytesToRead];
          contentStream.read(buffer);
          // write buffer to new file
          FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("form.pdf");
          file.write(buffer);
          file.close();
          log("Attachment " + attachment.getContentId() + " with type "
              + attachment.getContentType() + " written to form.pdf");
      else {
          log("attachment content has MIME type " + attachment.getContentType()
            + ", Java type " + attachment.getContent().getClass());
}
