Attachments & other parameters

[Philippe Frangioni <pf...@horizonwimba.com>]

Hello,

I want to use attachments to send a file to a server, but I also want to 
send an object which contains a description of this file (the file is a 
zip file which contains a course, so for example the object may include 
the title, the number of chapters...). Let's call this class "CourseInfo".
Actually I can send a file using attachments. My web service method has 
a parameter which is an object (a vector) which contains the names of 
the attachments (I followed the Axis wiki).

So what can I do to send also the object describing the course?

- I added a CourseInfo parameter to the method, but the CourseInfo class 
doesn't appear in the WSDL generated by Java2WSDL, so the CourseInfo 
class is not in the files generated by WSDL2Java...

- Or I can add the object in the first parameter (the vector), but the 
CourseInfo class still won't be in the files generated by WSDL2Java...

I don't know how to do...
I don't if using attachments limits the number of parameters to only one...

Thanks,
Phil

Are you using Axis or Axis2?

If you are using Axis2, then you should use MTOM to send your file. If
it's defined as type xs:base64binary it will be automatically
converted into a attachment. Your method should include all the
parameters you want to send. Make sure you use the -uw option. If
Java2WSDL is not including the manifest parameter, please file a JIRA.

Of course the best way to make this work is to start with the WSDL you want...
