Client for MTOM content transfer in Axis2

[Anjali S Sharma]

I have a webservice in Axis2 from which I need to download content (pdf files).

I have written the following for the client ( from http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_5_1/mtom-guide.html)

public static void getResumeContent(String resumeId) { 
       ResumeClient serviceClient = new ResumeClient(); 
        Options options = new Options(); 
        EndpointReference rs = new EndpointReference("http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/ResumeService"); 
        options.setTo(rs); 
        options.setProperty(Constants.Configuration.FORCE_MIME, Constants.VALUE_TRUE);         
        serviceClient.setOptions(options); 
}

but I am getting these error

1. The method setOptions(Options) is undefined for the type ResumeClient

2. Constants cannot be resolved

I checked the class "org.apache.axis2.Constants.Configuration" but "FORCE_MIME" was not a field there.

Please let me know which class to import and how to set the options.

Thank you

Regarding 1 > Does ResumeClient extends ServiceClient
Regarding 2> You are right FORCE_MIME doesn't exist. But this will be applicable by default if MTOM is enabled. User guide needs to be updated.

No, it doesn't. Should clients extend ServiceClient?

[Anjali S Sharma]

I changed the method to

public class ResumeClient { 
  ...
     public static void getResumeContent(String resumeId) throws AxisFault {
	ServiceClient serviceClient = new ServiceClient();
                Options options = new Options();
                EndpointReference rs = new EndpointReference("http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/ResumeService");
                options.setTo(rs);
                //     options.setProperty(Constants.Configuration.FORCE_MIME, Constants.VALUE_TRUE);        
                serviceClient.setOptions(options);
     }
}
	

Is this the right way of doing it? In this I have no where specified where to save the document...
Thank you

If depends on the service the way it sends attachment. If it send as SWA/MTOM then you have to get hold of envelope and fetch it. But if it is simple mime/multipart then you have to take attachment part out from the response.

I intend to use MTOM. So what is the correct way in that case?

Thank you

You need to get hold of soap envelope where it will be having reference to attachment. You can get soap envelope from MessageContext, there can be some MTOM specific API to get hold on attachment which I am not aware.
