Axis2 MTOM Webservice and a .NET Client to consume it.

Question

So i have this new Axis2 MTOM Webservice serving correctly to a java based webservice client.

The problem comes around when i try to add the service (or web) reference to the vs2008 and consume it with the generated code. Until now, is everything OK... this is what happens:

1. We create the necessary objects (client, request and parameter object)
2. We call the service
3. When receiving the response, it throws an exception with this message:

---

  Client found response content type of 'multipart/related; 
  boundary=MIMEBoundaryurn_uuid_6C47CADDECCCB90D951282776406454; 
  type="application/xop+xml"; start="
  <0.urn:uuid:[email protected]>"; start-info="text/xml"', 
  but expected 'text/xml'.

  The request failed with the error message:


MIMEBoundaryurn_uuid_6C47CADDECCCB90D951282776406454
Content-Type: application/xop+xml; charset=utf-8; type="text/xml"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-ID: <0.urn:uuid:[email protected]>

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"&gt;&lt;soapenv:Body&gt;&lt;ns:sendImageResponse xmlns:ns="http://org/company/ws/services/filetransfer/"&gt;&lt;ns:return xmlns:ax213="http://filetransfer.objects.ws.company.com/xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ax215="http://filetransfer.responses.objects.ws.company.com/xsd" xsi:type="ax215:SendImageResponse"><ax215:errorCode>1060</ax215:errorCode><ax215:errorMessage>Error ejecutando el servicio</ax215:errorMessage><ax215:output>1060</ax215:output></ns:return></ns:sendImageResponse></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
MIMEBoundaryurn_uuid_6C47CADDECCCB90D951282776406454

Or the question will be

¿How to set the the axis2 webservice's response to be non mimetype?

Answer 1

You need to use MTOM encoding in the configuration. See simple example from MSDN to use it with wsHttpBinding (should also be possible with basicHttpBinding). Check this article that describes consuming oracle web service using custom binding. If you want to try custom binding as given in example, you probably need to set messageVersion to Soap11 rather than Soap12.
