binary objects/files

[Matias Klein <ma...@healthnetworks.com>]

Hello,

I am building a wireless application using the Pocket PC and Apache
SOAP/Tomcat on Linux.  One feature of my handheld application is that it
allows users to create notes using the rich ink control.  This control
enables users to make drawings with the stylus as well as adding text to
their notes.  The files are stored in pocket word image (.pwi) format on the
device.  I want to send them to the server so that they can be stored in a
PostgreSQL database as large objects.

Does anyone know what the best way to transmit files as a payload using SOAP
is?  Do I need to use SMTP and attachments?  Can I use some type of custom
encoding?  Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matias Klein
