DIME attachments contained in an InputStream differerent for a FileInputStream don't work

           Summary: DIME attachments contained in an InputStream differerent
                    for a FileInputStream don't work
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.1rc2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rathcale@us.ibm.com


I am attempting to return binary attachment data in Axis in DIME type format. 
Axis works great when I return an attachment contained in a FileInputStream, but
when I try to use a different input stream, such as a database input stream, it
fails.

Here's why:  
Bug 1:
DimeBodyPart.getDataSize() gets the InputStream from the DataHandler in the
AttachmentPart and loops through to get the size in bytes.  When the reading is
done, the close() method is called on the InputStream.  It should not be because
the same InputStream is read again in the DimeBodyPart.send() method.  It is
even closed again in the send() method.

Bug 2:
DimeBodyPart.getDataSize() also need to call reset() on the InputStream because
the next read of the stream in DimeBodyPart.send() needs to begin at the
beginning of the stream.  If a reset is not called, the pointer will be after
the last byte in the stream.
