SOAP with Attachments

[Hakan Akkaya]

Hi all,
i�m trying to run a WebService in which the Webservice returns a XML File as Response and a gifFile as Attachment. I am trying to run this but i always get this Error:
Unsupported encoding: "null" specified. Using the default encoding.
I�ve found out, that i can set the ContentID like
setContentID("image/gif");
but i don�t know how to do this.
I am using Apache SOap on Weblogic 6.1 but bea is just used as Server, I do not use the WebService Implementation from BEA.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thank you very much

How are you trying to attach the GIF file to the message? Seems to me that it will have to be passed as a byte[] that is base64 encoded.

Hi Bill,
thank you for your response.
I have made it like that:
The Client :
String[] files = {"D:/Projekte/Parkinfo/parkinfo/source/com/bmw/parkinfo/sp/client/msg.gif","D:/Projekte/Parkinfo/parkinfo/source/com/bmw/parkinfo/sp/client/Whathappens.txt"};
String attachments = "";
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
ByteArrayDataSource ds =
new ByteArrayDataSource(new File(files[i]),"image/gif");
DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(ds);
MimeBodyPart bp = new MimeBodyPart();
bp.setDataHandler(dh);
bp.setFileName(files[i]);
bp.setHeader(org.apache.soap.Constants.HEADER_CONTENT_LOCATION,
"myfile" + (i));
msg.addBodyPart(bp);
}
DocumentBuilder xdb = XMLParserUtils.getXMLDocBuilder();
InputSource inSo = new InputSource(fr);
Document doc = xdb.parse(inSo);
if (doc == null) {
throw new SOAPException(Constants.FAULT_CODE_CLIENT, "parsing error");
}
Envelope msgEnv = Envelope.unmarshall(doc.getDocumentElement());
// send the message
msg.send(new URL(url), "", msgEnv);
I thought that the Webservice should do the same .I wanted the files to be attached to the so cales ResponseContext but it won�t work.
Can you give me an Example of how to to that with base64 encoding?
Thank you very much

Hi Hakan,
Have you solved your SOAP problem? I am currently hitting the same kind of trouble with Sun's JAXM on WebLogic 7.0
It is spitting an unsupported "utf-8" exception, and I don't have the heck of a clue where it comes from!
Rgds,
David
