RE: How do you pass .vrml .jpg info
Cilas -
As defined by Jax-RPC, you should probably be using xsd:base64Binary (or
xsd:hexBinary depending upon encoding preferences) that maps to a byte[]
parameter.
Or, use attachments.

Hi Everybody!
I'd like to know if it's possible to pass a .VRML or .JPG documents too.
Have you had this experience!?
Thank's a lot,

Ack!
Maybe this shouldn't bug me since the whole point of Axis is you're not
supposed to care what's on the wire--but the notion of XML-encoding an
entire XML document so it can be passed as a string via RPC, when
instead
you could just insert the literal document as the SOAP Body, makes no
sense
to me.
You could have this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<my_xml_document><blah/><blah/></my_xml_document>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
or you could have this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:someParameter xmlns:ns1 = "urn:some_namespace"
xsi:type="xsd:string"><my_xml_document><blah/><blah/></my_xm
l_document></someParameter>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The longer your XML document, and the more entities that need to be
escaped, the more convoluted the second version gets. Like I say, maybe
I
just shouldn't care--but what is doc style for if not situations like
this?
Sorry if I've overlooked something obvious here. I'm new to all this,
and
maybe I've misunderstood the problem or the proposed solution. Anyway,
if
you want an example messaging service, check out the message/ directory
in
the samples that came with Axis. You can see it creating
SOAPBodyElements
from DOM Elements, which is what you want to do. Your messaging client
would need to grab the document element from your DOM (with the
Document.getDocumentElement() call) and pass that to the SOAPBodyElement
constructor. Pass this single SOAPBodyElement to your service, and what
the service will get is a SOAP Envelope with your XML document for the
body.
