XI and Soap with attachments

We have a Http -> XI(3.0)-> Webservice scenario, where the webservice returns a SOAP response with one or more zip file as attachments.
Any information on configuring SOAP adapter to receive the multiple attachments and pass it to outbound http interface will be helpful.
Inorder to test this scenario, we are also looking for a webservice which can return one or more attachments. Please let us know if you happen to know of a similar webservice.

While configuring your SOAP Adapter in the Integration Directory you can select the option "Keep Attachments" under "Conversion Parameters"

How to create Inbound SOAP With Attachments

Hi All,
Does someone know how to create an Inbound SOAP Message (from SAP XI to a Business System) with attachments?
We get an Idoc from a SAP R/3 system and transform this Idoc to an other XML format messages, but we want this message as an attachment and not as the payload in the SOAP Envelope.
We tried the PayloadSwapBean module, but we don't have an attachment to swap with, but maybe we used the wrong paramaters.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Stefan,
Does this quick response mean I challenged you?
Our scenario is that we send an IDoc (ORDERS05) from our R/3-backend-system to XI (3.0/SP15). In an integration process (A/S-bridge) we transform this IDoc to an UBL-Order XML-message, and we want to send this XML-message as an attachment to a (synchronous) SOAP-call to a vendor. Like I said, despite the SAPHelp-content, we don't get this working. Whatever we try, the UBL-Ordermessage is contained in the SOAP-body.
What makes it even more strange, is that XI itself is based on the SOAP-with-attachments-standard...
So, any help is much appreciated!
Regards, Fred

Binary Attachments - MTOM vs. SOAP with Attachments

Hello everybody,
i am kind of stuck by implementing a soap to proxy scenario! I wanted to use MTOM to transfer the messages together with the attachments, but until now i couldn't find out if this is possible at all using the ws-adapter with backend proxy (version 701)!
I have seen this already:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/de/48/d5a1fe5f317a4e8e35801ed2c88246/frameset.htm
unfortunately im not a abap coder, but i can see using attachments in proxys should work!
But how? Am i forced to used soap with attachments on sending webservice? If yes, have you got an example for me?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Hi Amar,
thanks for your reply, i know the mtom theory, but i don't know how to do it with sap pi on proxy side!
(By the way, your link throws a 404!)
Using soap adapter with enabled "keep Attachments" option, the MTOM-Attachment is getting processed, but on proxy side, using soap adapter (keeping attachments) to call proxy, it crashes on the backend side (version 701).
I tried to make a webservice out of the proxy in soamanager, but i didn't get this working, as i have never done this. Also i didn't find an option for mtom in soamanager. I am also wondering why mtom is only supported in ws-adapter 7.10 but not in 7.11, why is this? And is it possible to use soap-adapter on OB-side and WS-Adapter on IB-side, or can i only use ws-adapter for direct communication?
Lot's of questions i am facing ;-)...
Kind regards,
Markus

Streaming soap with attachments

dear all
this might be a piece of cake for some of you out there but it is causing me a lot of stress given the fact that there is not enogh documentation out there regarding this topic
I am writing a web service that uses soap with attachments to send a large streaming data,
The concept works quite well but when I started to test it I got this problem.
When my client program calls a method that should return a real time data the streaming starts after 10 seconds
How can I avoid the fact that the message calls waits that long before the data starts streaming in?
To be more specific
I have a method that returns a streaming data in 10 seconds [getSteamingData(long seconds)]
I would like to test if I already get some data steaming in after one second of it starts.
To do so I started a thread that checks the OutputSteam size every 1 second and then compare the result with the previous size say a second ago, there should be an increase in size each second!!!
But when I start the thread? the streaming does not start right away instead, it starts after 10 seconds causing the thread to return null size
In real life with real large streaming data that 10 seconds could be 10 hours or God forbidden 10 years
Is there a way around or is that not possible in SwA?
Anybody have any idea
thanks in advance

Hi Aalap,
In version 1 of WebLogic Workshop SOAP attachments are not supported.
Attachments will be supported in the next version. If support for SOAP
attachment is an important requirement for you application, you can use
WebLogic Web Services which supports SOAP Attachments.
Please refer to the following document for more information on this

Can Oracle BPEL handle Doc/Lit SOAP with Attachments?

I have successfully followed the instructions for using Oracle BPEL 10.1.3.4 to handle SOAP With Attachments with an RPC-style WSDL, detailed here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28981/manipdoc.htm#sthref955
I have a simple Echo service that receives and attachment and responds with the same attachment.
I actually would like to accomplish the same thing using a Doc/Literal Wrapped WSDL. My initial testing shows that BPEL can indeed receive the attachment ( I can see it in the dehydration store), but it is not added to the response.
Is this possible using Doc/Lit with SwA in BPEL 10.1.3.4?

As I've investigated the issue some more, I've found that the real issue is receiving an attachment on the SOAP response from the BPEL process. Using a Doc/Lit-Wrapped WSDL, I can receive a request with an attachment, and add it to outgoing requests successfully. But when I do a straight copy from the request message to the response message (Echo Service), the response contains the correct "href" attribute but there is no attachment, and moreover, no MIME multipart message is returned.
NOTE: I was successful in using an RPC/Literal WSDL to accomplish the successful echo of the attachment.
Also, when looking in the OPMN logs, I see the following line for the RPC-based BPEL process, but not for the Doc/Lit:
<2009-11-23 13:43:35,684> <DEBUG> <attachment.collaxa.cube.engine> <CXBinaryDataHandler::createDataSource> for binary location=uuid:aaa091d17e1b5545:67c00c53:1252285bf07:-7fc2
<2009-11-23 13:43:35,716> <DEBUG> <attachment.collaxa.cube.engine.data> <ConnectionFactory::getConnection> GOT CONNECTION 1 Autocommit = false
<2009-11-23 13:43:35,716> <DEBUG> <attachment.collaxa.cube.engine> <CXBinaryDataHandler::createDataSource> for binary location=uuid:aaa091d17e1b5545:67c00c53:1252285bf07:-7fc1
and the "binary location" value corresponds with the "href" attribute seen in the BPEL audit logs.

BPEL 11g SOAP with Attachments

Does anyone have any examples utilizing SOAP with Attachments with BPEL 11g?
I have previously worked with SwA in BPEL 10g, but I have not been able to successfully port my BPEL projects to 11g. I am able to send in an attachment without error, but the outgoing requests and/or responses do not contain the attachment as they should.
Note: I am trying to use traditional SOAP with Attachments (hrefs) and not MTOM

Hi ,
Even we too have same requirement where soap with attachment (swa) has to pass through bpel process(11g).You hava mentioned that ur able to attach file to req..please can u share your sample for reference.
Thanks for suggestions.

Hi David,
The "covert byte[] to a base64 encoded string" solution, is probably your best
bet given the scenario you described.

SOAP with attachments, attachment streaming

Hello all,
We are currently in the process of designing an integration service that uses web services (SOAP) as the means of communication.
There are very large binary attachments included with these SOAP messages. MTOM ja SAAJ are to be used (propably CXF).
However, as these attachments are very large (100MB), I would like to stream the attachments "through" the integration server.
Is this possible? Can I somehow stream the SOAP attachment from the source system directly into the target without saving it as a whole into the integrating server application?
Thank you for all your help! All solution suggestions are apprechiated :-)

Web Service with attachments (SOAP with attachments) without PI

Hi,
Is it possible to send across file(say PDF) using ABAP web services. I know it can be done with Java using SOAP with attachments. Is something similar available for ABAP ? since if we transfer raw binary data as type string / xstring it may have a performance impact.
I could not see any option for attachments when using web service wizard from SE37 / soamanager
Note I am not using PI, this Web service would be consumed by a 3rd party tool. There is very little material available on transferring files using web service with SOAP attachments.
Regards,
Aditya

Hi thanks for your input, but did you have to encode your binary data stream in say Base64 / utf-8 ? Also if you are transferring files in bulk(say 10 -100 files) how does your web service indicate end of one file or what is the best way so as to avoid performance problems.

Aditya

Soap with attachments

I am a newbie to Soap do anyone have examples on soap with attachment.My requirement I need to send a zip file as an attachment from server to client using soap protocol and download that on client.I think we can do with SAAJ but do anyone have example..I need it immediately.Thanks in advance.
Ragavendra.

The jwsdp 1.1 tutorial has an example of using saaj to add an attachment to a soap message. See JWSDP_HOME\docs\tutorial\doc\JAXM5.html and search for "Adding Attachments". For attaching a zip file, a DataHandler is probably easiest:
DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(new FileDataSource("skwish.zip"));
AttachmentPart attachment = message.createAttachmentPart(dh);
attachment.setContentId("zip_data"); // optional
message.addAttachmentPart(attachment); Mike

InvalidSecurity Exception in WS and SOAP with Attachment

Hi all, 
 
I created a EJB based webservice with the following signature: 
public String businessMethod2(byte[] arg1) {..} 
 
 
This Method is exposed as webservice, which is configured as SOAP with Attachment. 
All security or authentication settings are disabled by intention. 
The input param arg1 should be a binary file.
 
When I call this webservice I always get the following response: 
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

 </detail> 
 </SOAP-ENV:Fault> 
 </SOAP-ENV:Body> 
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope> 
 
 
My guess is, that the WAS 7.00 SP11 is magically configured for applying WS-Security to every webservice. 
 
The Security Profile settings for Inbound / Outbound - Paramters is "None" in Visual Admin Webservice Security. 
 
How can I get rid of this Exception and make the webservice work?

Gabi

Query on SOAP with attachments with Weblogic

Hi all,
I'm new to webservice and workshop, and I have to develop a webservice using bea workshop to be able to process multiple files and store it on a document server. I suppose that the webservice clients will be able to formulate their request in the form of SOAP messages with attachments(documents to be stored), but I'm not sure whether this is the best method and weblogic(8.1) supports it.
Currently I have created a jws file which has successfully connected and been authenticated by the Document server, so for my next step, I'm trying to create a new file in the document server but I'm stuck at trying to write code to get attachment from the SOAP message in the jws file. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks!

Hi
WebLogic Workshop web services can exchange one or more SOAP attachments.
There is a sample and information on how to do that under the link

Thanks

WLS7 WebServices SOAP with attachments problem

I have implemented a WebService in Weblogic. If I use the standard Sun
 JAXM library to invoke the service without any attachments, it works
 fine. However, if I use the standard JAXM functionality to add a gif
 image to the message, Weblogic throws an exception (attached below)
 before it even invokes the handler class for my Web Service.
 Basically, the JAXM library does not insert the "start=..." element in
 the top level "Content-Type" HTTP header field. Should Weblogic cope
 with this, or is it not designed to work with the Sun JAXM library. I
 am using the latest version of the Sun WebServices Developers Kit and,
 hence, the latest version of the JAXM library. Do BEA recommend a
 different client library be used to invoke Weblogic WebServices? If
 so which one(s) are supported?
 I have another question. Assuming I can find a client which will
 deliver to Weblogic an HTTP SOAP mesage that it considers to be valid,
 how do attachments get passed to the "component" class? I understand
 how I could iterate through the mime segments / attachments from
 within the "handler", but I don't understand how / if attachments are
 passed onto the actual component class. Reading from the FAQ:
 Q. Does WebLogic Server 7.0 support SOAP Messages with Attachments?
 A. Yes. As long as the data type of the attachment is on the list of
 supported JAX-RPC data types, then WebLogic Server will automatically
 handle parameters to Web services that are SOAP attachments. If you
 want to do further processing of the attachment, you can use handlers
 to intercept the request and response SOAP message (which includes the
 attachment.)
 I get the impression that attachments are "magically" available to
 code within the component, but I don't understand the actual mechanics
 of this.
 Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
 Cheers,
 Steve

What is the best book on XML and SOAP with Java?

I need to learn xml and soap. Could someone recommend a book or tutorials on the subject. I have just went through teach yourself java in 21 days.
Thank you
Noah

Well using XML is very easy and I can assure you that a simple tutorial can get you on the right track quickly. A quick google search gave me this one, which looks like a good start: [http://totheriver.com/learn/xml/xmltutorial.html|http://totheriver.com/learn/xml/xmltutorial.html]
As for SOAP, that is a more complex subject. You are looking for JAX-WS (Java API for XML webservices). I suggest checking out amazon.com searching for "java web services". The user reviews should give you a very good idea which book is good and which one stinks.
