Synchrone read file interface ?

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I need to build a webservice that returns a .jpg picture as an attachment to the SOAP messgae.

I have build a webservice to java proxy interface. But i*m stuck, because the MessageAttachment is not working on PI 7.11 yet.

Any of you have a good idea of how to implement a webservice that returns a binary file on PI ? it should be done as a syncrhon interface.

I would hate to ask our microsoft gyus to make the webservice for me .-)

Thanks

Hi, you can return the image as base64 binary in the message payload. Define a field of type xsd:base64Binary and a field for filename. The receiver can decode the content and save the file, or as in your case attach to a SOAP message.

Base64 encoding the file and return it in the payload solved the probelem.

Sorry, my first thought was not correct... Do as Martin suggested, it should work fine for you.
