I think we need more details.

Are you writing a web service? If so which toolkit if any? Which version of Java? Which operating system?

What do you have on the client side? A browser?

Why is this a web services problem and not a plain file upload?

Incidentally, waiting less than 3 hours before expressing impatience - take it easy, the people who might help you are distributed all across the globe in every time zone.

Using a web service also means that the images need to be included in the SOAP (xml) some how..

How can this be done ??

One way is to load the images into a byte array and then convert this array into a Base64String (which is a valid SOAP element).

[William Brogden]

The RESTful approach is much simpler than SOAP for binary data.

Here is the wikipedia article which is a quick summary.

Creating a new image resource on a server would be a PUT I think.
