Client sets illegal content length when MIME-attachement is bigger than 2GB

           Summary: Client sets illegal content length when MIME-attachement
                    is bigger than 2GB
           Product: Axis
           Version: current (nightly)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: john.e.halse@start.no


If you try to send a MIME-attachement that is bigger than 2GB the Content Length
header field is set to a negative value.

I found that this is because the getContentLength() method in
org.apache.axis.attachments.AttachmentsImpl casts the long value returned from
org.apache.axis.attachments.MimeUtils.getContentLength() to an int before
returning it. I tried to remove this cast which seems to solve the problem.

Here is a patch for org.apache.axis.attachments.AttachmentsImpl.

2GB isnt that big. How may bits go into a 1200dpi poster at 32 bpp? That 
is the kind of thing that gets printed over a LAN...

2GB? Are we going to support DVD exchange over SOAP? ;)
