Using Attachments on the Server

As in the client case, if you are implementing an RPC-based service you may be able

to take advantage of the built-in serializers/deserializers for the

javax.activation.DataSource and javax.activation.DataHandler

objects.

If you are implementing a message-oriented service, you can use methods from the

following class to add or retrieve MimeBodyParts:

org.apache.soap.rpc.SOAPContext

Referencing Attachments From Within a SOAP Message

To refer to an attachment from within a SOAP message, add an element similar to the

following:

where

elemName

is the name of the element within the message.

cid-uri

is the URL-encoded name of the Content-ID for the attachment which you are

referring to, or alternatively, an absolute or relative URI referring to the Content-

Location of the attachment. (The Content-ID is set as part of the

javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart.)
