Define the MIME Bindings

HydraExpress Components : Web Service Development Guide : PART IV Extending your Applications : SOAP with Attachments : Working with Attachments : Define the Attachment in WSDL : Define the MIME Bindings

The MIME binding defines the MIME type multipart/related for the message response. Let’s look at the binding for the AddDocument and GetDocuments operations:

<soap:binding style="rpc"

transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>

<soap:operation soapAction="adddocument"/>

<input>

<mime:multipartRelated>

<mime:part>

<soap:body use="literal"

namespace="http://www.roguewave.com/rwsf/webservice/examples"

</mime:part>

<mime:part>

<mime:content part="document" type="*/*"/>

</mime:part>

</mime:multipartRelated>

</input>

<soap:body use="literal"

namespace="http://www.roguewave.com/rwsf/webservice/examples"

</output>

</operation>

<soap:operation soapAction="getdocuments"/>

<input>

<soap:body use="literal"

namespace="http://www.roguewave.com/rwsf/webservice/examples"/>

</input>

<mime:multipartRelated>

<mime:part>

<soap:body use="literal"

namespace="http://www.roguewave.com/rwsf/webservice/examples"/>

</mime:part>

</mime:multipartRelated>

</output>

</operation>

</binding>

//1 Defines the binding for the input message’s multipart mime attachment, consisting of two mime parts, one the body of the message, the other the image.

//2 Defines a referenced attachment (see below), tied to the document part. Note the type indicates that any MIME type is allowed for this attachment.
