Hi all,
I have to write a SOAP Service with J2EE that deliver different
documents like Word, pdf and image files.
As a Service Consumer I have to write a dotNET Client which invokes the
service with the identifier of the desired document.
I have three main questions:
1.)
There are many types of attachment handlings and encodings like MTOM,
sWA, DIME and MIME.
Which of these are really both supported from .NET and from a Java.
A read that I should use mime for an interoperable service, but I also
read that dotNET does not support MIME encoding.
2.)
Which Java Technology should I use for this, Apache Axis or JAX-WS?
I personally would prefer JAX-WS, but AXIS is in a wide use, has a more
production state and has a better support for attachment handling, I
suppose.
3.)
Do I have to define the attachment type in the wsdl-file. I saw some
examples in which that was done.
This is a problem for me because as I described the attachment type will
differ for each response.
Hope that someone can help me out of my uncertainty.
greetings
Florian
