Handle SOAP Message

[Shankar sanjay]

Hi,

I have a simple requirement, like

I have to receive attachments from SOAP message and save it in a local machine. I am not quite clear how to handle it in server side using jax-ws 2.0, can you please tell me where can i find a sample? i am using RAD 7.5

there are lot of example which tells how to send (client side) soap message with attachment, but i want to server side, how to receive at the server end.

Could you please provide some suggestion?

Regards,
Sankar. S

Hi!
If you want to handle SOAP messages with attachments on the server side, your endpoint implementation class should implement the javax.xml.ws.Provider interface with the generic type SOAPMessage. Example:

...
public MyEndpointImplementationClass implements Provider<SOAPMessage> {
...

The invoke method will receive a parameter of the type SOAPMessage. Using SAAJ you can then retrieve the attachment(s) of the SOAP message.
Best wishes!

Hi Ivan,

Can we use SOAPHandler and SAAJ API to retrieve SOAP Attachment at server side?
