Sending attachments using JAX-RPC

Question

Hi,
can anyone give me an example for sending an attachment using JAX-RPC. I want to create a webservice that will expect an attachment. Also once the client snds the attachment how can i access it in the service?
any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Did anyone test this?
I am using a DataHandler in the server
public String sendDocument(String name, DataHandler dh)
DataHandler rdh = (DataHandler) dh;
     if (dh == null)
          return message+ "Received null attachment";
     DataSource ds = rdh.getDataSource();
     try
          dh.writeTo(new FileOutputStream("D:\\temp\\" + name));
     catch(java.io.IOException e)
     return message + " Processed attachment " + ":Stream Error: " + e.getMessage();
     return message + " Processed attachment" ;
In the client I use Proxy which works fine:
FileDataSource fs = new FileDataSource(fileName);
if (fs == null)
     System.out.println("Invalid File Source");
DataHandler dhSource = new DataHandler(fs);
     System.out.println(up.sendDocument(dhSource.getName(), dhSource));
THIS WORKS FINE. I see the attachment is saved properly.
When I try using DII:
call.setOperationName(new QName(BODY_NAMESPACE_VALUE,"sendDocument"));
QName QNAME_TYPE_DH = new QName(NS_XSD, "DataHandler");
call.addParameter("String_1", QNAME_TYPE_STRING,ParameterMode.IN);
call.addParameter("DataHandler_1", QNAME_TYPE_DH,ParameterMode.IN);
FileDataSource fs = new FileDataSource(fileName);
if (fs == null)
     System.out.println("Invalid File Source");
else
          DataHandler dhSource = new DataHandler(fs);
          String dhName = dhSource.getName();
     Object[] params = new Object[] {dhName,dhSource};
     String result = (String)call.invoke(params);
     System.out.println(result);
THIS DOES NOT WORK. I get an error.
[java] serialization error: no serializer is registered for (class javax.activation.DataHandler, {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}DataHandler)
ANY POINTERS??????
I even tried this:
QName qnameAttachment = new QName(NS_XSD, "DataHandler");
TypeMappingRegistry tr = service.getTypeMappingRegistry();
TypeMapping tm = tr.createTypeMapping();
tm.register(DataHandler.class,
qnameAttachment,
new JAFDataHandlerSerializerFactory(),
new JAFDataHandlerDeserializerFactory());
     tr.registerDefault(tm);
NO SUCCESS!
Appreciate any responses....
