Axis2 attachments are vanishing in the response
- by Shamik
I am using axis2 to come up with a basic web service which will get the file name as parameter and produces a response SOAP packet which will have the file attached along with the SOAP.
Here is the way I am creating the service code (its simple and inspired by Axis2 sample code)
public String getFile(String name) throws IOException
{
MessageContext msgCtx = MessageContext.getCurrentMessageContext();
File file = new File (name);
System.out.println("File = " + name);
System.out.println("File exists = " + file.exists());
FileDataSource fileDataSource = new FileDataSource(file);
System.out.println("fileDataSource = " + fileDataSource);
DataHandler dataHandler = new DataHandler(fileDataSource);
System.out.println("DataHandler = " + dataHandler);
String attachmentID = msgCtx.addAttachment(dataHandler);
System.out.println("attachment ID = " + attachmentID);
return attachmentID;
}
Now The client side code -
MessageContext response = mepClient
.getMessageContext(WSDLConstants.MESSAGE_LABEL_IN_VALUE);
SOAPBody body = response.getEnvelope().getBody();
OMElement element = body.getFirstElement().getFirstChildWithName(
new QName("http://service.soapwithattachments.sample","return"));
String attachementId = element.getText();
System.out.println("attachment id is " + attachementId);
Attachments attachment = response.getAttachmentMap();
DataHandler dataHandler = attachment.getDataHandler(attachementId);
Problem is that dataHandler is always null. Though I think at the server side, the file was read and attached along with the SOAP packet. Am I doing something wrong ?
EDIT :
I have put <parameter name="enableSwA" locked="false">true</parameter> in the axis2.xml file.
