WSDL: operation with attachment?

[Pedro Salazar <pe...@ptinovacao.pt>]

Greetings,

I read many threads on this list about SOAP attachments but I didn't saw
a sample of well formed WSDL document with SOAP attachments (only java
implementation code). I was looking in http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl for
more details but my WSDL sample throws this error on the
<axis-wsdl2java> task:

....
[axis-wsdl2java] java.io.IOException: <input ..>, <output ..> or <fault
..> in <portType> with undefined message found. message name is

My WSDL document is:

<wsdl ...>

  <types>

        <schema ..>
            ...
           <complexType name="ArrayOfBinary">

                    <restriction base="soapenc:Array">
                        <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" 
                            wsdl:arrayType="xsd:binary[]"/>
                    </restriction>

        </operation>

   </portType>

   ...

   <operation name="testWSAttach">

            </fault>

            <soap:operation soapAction="testWSAttach"/>
    </operation>


    <soap:binding 
        transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" 
        style="rpc"/>

    </binding>

    <service .../>

</wsdl>


Any hints or advice for a WSDL definition with a operation with SOAP
attachments?

thanks,

Greetings,

First of all a few changes in my original post that I solved::

1)
>             ...
>            <complexType name="ArrayOfBinary">
>                 <complexContent>
>                     <restriction base="soapenc:Array">
>                         <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" 
>                             wsdl:arrayType="xsd:binary[]"/>
>                     </restriction>
>                 </complexContent>
>             </complexType>

- I changed the xsd:binary[] to xsd:base64Binary[].
(the "xsd:binary[]" must be a mistake in th WSDL 1.1 specification)

2)

>         </operation>

Here was a misspelling in the name of the input message (it misses a the
letter 't').

*Now*, 

I finally can generate the interfaces of my service *BUT* I have a
byte[][] in my service method where I was expecting the java object data
javax.activation.DataHandler like the specification of JAXRPC refers.

public byte[][] testWSAttach(java.lang.String aXML) throws
java.rmi.RemoteException,
pt.ptinovacao.nginpro.interfaces.service.NGINProException {
        return null;
}

Shouldn't I use the DataHandler to be used as a SOAP attachment???

thanks,
Pedro Salazar.
