transferring a file?

[Chris Haddad <ch...@cobia.net>]

Patricia - 

SOAP does not create remote references to objects.  A java.io.File is
actually an object used to access a file, not the actual file itself.
That is what is causing the serialization issues.

Are you attempting to just pass file contents, or attempting to pass
file attributes (name, file system properties, .... etc)? 

If passing file contents, you probably should be using the Axis SOAP
Attachment support. See xml-axis.java.samples.attachments

Subject: Re: Char!!!!

I want to return java.io.File object from method in webservice. But when
I 
create a WSDL file from JavaToWSDL tool it creates a complex type named 
java.io.File and in it two of element which are separatorChar and 
pathSeparatorChar are of char type. When I generate Java files using 
WSDLToJava tool it tries to create a class DefaultNamespace._char. Is
their 
any way to around it???
