return value problem with attachments.

[sr...@tcs.com]

Hi,
 I am facing a problem in sending attachments (MIME)from a webservice. Can 
any body help me with this..
 
GetFile and Copyfile functions that i implemented send files to the client 
system as attachments and 
also return the status of the call in a string as return value. 
 
The problem that I am facing  is the string returned by above 
functions is null when there are attachments to be sent to client system. 
All the functional requirements are met 
in the above case. If I remove the attachments the system works fine and 
the client is able to receive all the strings that are returned by the 
functions.
 
When I try to debug the code I see a valid and correct value assigned to 

the variable that is being returned from the above functions.
 
I have upgraded Axis from 1.1 to 1.2Rc2 to see if the problem is fixed in 

higher versions . But still I have the same problem.
 
I have searched over the net for a solution and found postings with 
similar problem but did not see any reply to solve the same.
 
Can you please suggest what could be the problem and how to solve it.
 
Thanks & Regards
