SOAP attachment not reaching server side

Question

I am using SAAJ at the client side for sending a soap request. I am also attaching a random binary string as an attachment to the SOAP request, using this API.

soapMessage.addAttachment(attachment);

When I sniff this request through wireshark, I can see my attachment outside the <SoapEnv>, but when this request reaches the client side (which is implemented using the JBoss libraries), I only get the message and not the attachment.

I have not specificed anything in the WSDL related to the attachments.

I can't figure out what can be the problem.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Answer 1

Do you send along the right Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding and Content-ID header values?

Maybe post the generated soap-message
