[B]Problem handling Doc/Jpeg attachment file types in SAAJ at interceptors.[/B]

[Sriram Krishnan]

I am using SAAJ 1.3 for sending attachments from client to server.

My client code looks like this...

SOAPMessage message = messageFactory.createMessage();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = message.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
SOAPBody soapBody = envelope.getBody();
SOAPHeader header = envelope.getHeader();
SOAPFactory soapFactory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();

DataSource dataSource = new FileDataSource("C:/test.txt");
DataHandler dataHandler= new DataHandler(dataSource);
ByteArrayOutputStream attachmentStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();	

InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(dataHandler.getInputStream());
 int size = is.available();
int bytesRead = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
while ((bytesRead = is.read(buffer, 0, size)) != -1)
 {
	attachmentStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
dataHandler.writeTo(attachmentStream);
is.close();
attachmentStream.close(); 
AttachmentPart attachmentPart = message.createAttachmentPart(dataHandler);
attachmentPart.setContentId("A1");
message.addAttachmentPart(attachmentPart);
message.saveChanges();
message.writeTo(System.out);
// and im sending the soap message to the server....

My server-side interceptor looks like this...

public class HeaderLogger implements EndpointInterceptor
{
public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext messageContext, Object endpoint) throws Exception
{
 WebServiceMessage requestMessage = messageContext.getRequest();
 AbstractSoapMessage absSoapMessage = (AbstractSoapMessage) requestMessage;
 SaajSoapMessage tmpSaaj =(SaajSoapMessage) absSoapMessage;
 SOAPMessage tmpSoapmsg = tmpSaaj.getSaajMessage();
 java.util.Iterator iterator = tmpSoapmsg.getAttachments();
while (iterator.hasNext()) 
{
  AttachmentPart attachment = (AttachmentPart)iterator.next();
  Object content = attachment.getContent();
  System.out.println(attachment.getContent().toString());

Except for a .txt file , it prints out some erroneous special characters whenever Doc/jpeg file is attached.
Is it like we have to encode it to some other format before sending the attachment to avoid those special characters.

I'm using springWS 1.0 rc-2 on Apache Tomcat 5.0 and the jars used for SAAJ are saaj-api-1.3.jar and saaj-impl-1.3.jar.

Hi.

Instead of writing it to system.out you should write it into a file. Writing binary data to the console even makes your speaker sing...

Cheers,

Hi.
Even I tried writing to a file but the data received at the server side is truncated
and nothing is written in to the file..

Hi,

Thanks...I changed the SpringWS version to 1.0.1 and its working now..
