Desperate newbie - problem with image attachment

[Eyad Garelnabi]

Hi,

I�m an axis newbie and having trouble sending an image attachment (document style message) from my client to the server. The attachment seems to go across fine, but when I use AttachmentPart on the server, the server hangs. It tries to write the binary source to the console/screen and the PC beeps endlessly, and it hangs. I�ve been at this for ten days now trying to figure out what the problem is. No one at work has much experience with axis so I�m on my own on this one. Any tips whatsoever on what it is I�m doing wrong would be very much appreciated.

Below are the following files:
-RemoteTaskResultService (client-side)
-RemoteTaskResultImpl (server-side)
-remotetaskresult (wsdl)

I�m using Axis 1.1, Tomcat 4.1.x

Thanx a million
