Upload multiple files

[Daniel Zhang <zh...@clinicaltools.com>]

Scott -

This question comes after Barry White's upload question. If I have 
multiple files uploaded, one way is to send each file uploaded with 
seperate soap request, but I don't think it's efficient. So the other 
way I think, is to create a Datahandler array, then you send all files 
in this array with single soap request, I think this is more efficient.

...
DataHandler[] dhArray = new DataHandler[fileNumber];
for (int i = 0; i < fileNumber; i++) {
    dhArray[i] = new DataHandler(datasource[i]);
}
...
params.addElement(new Parameter("uploadfiles", 
javax.activation.DataHandler[].class, dhArray, null));
...

The key point here is "javax.activation.DataHandler[].class" legal or 
illiegal for class type? Or we have to do extra effort here?

TIA,

-Daniel

It should be legal.
