SOAP message with TIFF attachment

[Bob Green]

I need to attach a tiff file to the soap message but don't know how to implement it. Can someone please let me know how to do it if you have done it before.

Thanks.

You could load the bytes that make up the image into memory, turn it into ASCII by base-64 encoding, and send the whole as a string. Or, send it as a MIME attachment.

Thanks for a quick response. Can you give me some examples if you have them because I am not quite familiar with attachments.

Thanks

This example uses the obsolete JAX-RPC API, but it does demonstrate the basics.

Web Services, Opaque Data, and the Attachments Problems discusses a variety of solutions to the problem of binary data transfer, their relative strengths and weaknesses which may influence your choice of approach.

Then there is also Fear of Attachments.
