Re: RES: AW: How do you pass an XML document between Axis and .Net Cl ient?

[Andrew Vardeman <an...@iastate.edu>]

Well, following the model folks are suggesting for sending XML documents 
via RPC, you could XML-encode the .VRML and send it as a string. If you 
really wanted to, you could Base64-encode the JPG and do the same 
thing.  That would be kinda silly though, since the SOAP spec allows MIME 
attachments to be sent following the SOAP Envelope.  Inside the SOAP 
Envelope, you reference the file that's included as a MIME 
attachment.  According to the User's Guide, Axis has preliminary support 
for SOAP With Attachments.  See the attachments/ directory in the Axis samples.

Trouble with SwA is that not all other implementations handle it,
specifically .NET, so if you want true interop its our friend base-64,
making XML based protocols even less efficient than they are already.
