JAX-RPC Web Service with Attachments

[E Nham]

Hi,

I just want to do a sanity check. I can use an EJB 2.1 session bean as an endpoint for a web service method that takes an attachment, can I not? I want my method to take a parameter DTO that has an attribute javax.activation.DataHandler. I am compiling the wsdl using JAX-RPC but it is not generating it correctly to take a Mime attachment. Instead I am getting:

   <complexType name='MyDTO'>
    <complexContent>
      <sequence>
       <element name='fileData' nillable='true' type='ns13:text_xml'/>
      </sequence>
    </complexContent>
   </complexType>

What am I doing wrong? I want fileData to be a mime attachment...

Thanks for your help.
