HI All, I am using CXF-2.1.2 version. I have a requirement to send an attachment from web services server to the client as part of one web service call response. I have created the response element as following in wsdl file, * <xsd:element name="fileStreamResponse" type="xsd:base64Binary"
xmime:expectedContentTypes="application/octet-stream" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1">* When web service operation is called i am creating "FileDataHandler" for file and returning the handler as part of response. Server is able to send the attachment to the client. I can see the following log message on web services server side. *<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><ns5:testMtomResponseResponse><fileStreamResponse><xop:Include xmlns:xop="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" href="cid:e47836d1-3362-48ce-bbac-f1bd033ea2ef@http%3A%2F%2Fcxf.apache.org %2F"/></fileStreamResponse></ns5:testMtomResponseResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope> ------=_Part_0_8371737.1276162616240 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-ID: <e47836d1-3362-48ce-bbac-f1bd033ea...@http%3a%2f% 2Fcxf.apache.org%2F> This is the response created intially on the server.* But the client is not able to receive the attachment. In "AttachmentInInterceptor" if the message type is multipart, then we cxf code is loading the attachments lazily. That's the reason why the client is not able to get the response. Web services client is throwing the following exception, * java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream at org.apache.cxf.attachment.AttachmentDeserializer.readNext(AttachmentDeserializer.java:187) at org.apache.cxf.attachment.LazyAttachmentCollection$1.hasNext(LazyAttachmentCollection.java:73) at org.apache.cxf.attachment.LazyDataSource.load(LazyDataSource.java:49) at org.apache.cxf.attachment.LazyDataSource.getContentType(LazyDataSource.java:59) at javax.activation.DataHandler.getContentType(Unknown Source) at javax.activation.DataHandler.getBaseType(Unknown Source) at javax.activation.DataHandler.getDataContentHandler(Unknown Source) at javax.activation.DataHandler.getContent(Unknown Source)* Please help me to resolve this issue.Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Naresh.
