[JBoss-user] [JBossWS] - Data returned from WS is incorrect type and empty.

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I'm attempting to send a tiff file from servlet to client by wrapping it in a datahandler and returning the datahandler via RPC.  I'm developing in Eclipse with JBoss 4.0.2.  At the server, the datahandler is created correctly, but on the client side, the object that is returned is apparently an AttachmentPart rather than a datahandler, and it's also very much null.  In fact the datahandler contained within it is useless.  After multiple tries with multiple sources, I followed JBossWSAttachStepByStep to a T.

Here's the server code which works fine:

  | try{
  | 	File theFile = new File(testTiff);
  | 	DataSource ds = new ByteArrayDataSource(theFile, "image/tiff");
  | 	DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(ds);
  | 	return dh;
  | }
  | catch(Exception ex) { ... }
  | 

Here's the client code:

(To avoid confusion, if I just say 
DataHandler ret = call.invoke(...); 
or
DataHandler ret = (DataHandler) call.invoke(...);
which is what I was doing originally, it still doesn't work.  
I've only just pasted my most recent code.)

  | try {
  | 	DataHandler dh = null;
  |     	String endpoint = "http://dd-hanson:8080/serviceName/Controller?wsdl";
  |         URL myURL = new URL(endpoint);
  |         QName myQ = new QName(NAMESPACE_URI, "ControllerService");
  |         ServiceFactory factory = (ServiceFactory)ServiceFactory.newInstance();
  |         Service  service = (Service)factory.createService(myURL, myQ);
  |         Call call = (Call)service.createCall(new QName(NAMESPACE_URI, SERVICE_PORT) );
  |         call.setTargetEndpointAddress(endpoint);
  |         call.setOperationName(new QName("http://web.imaging/wsdl", "getImage"));
  | 
  |         Object ret = call.invoke(new Object[]{imageID});
  | 
  |         System.out.println("ret is type: " + ret.getClass());  // This is how I know 'ret' is an AttachmentPart
  |         dh = (DataHandler)((org.apache.axis.attachments.AttachmentPart)ret).getDataHandler();
  | 	return dh;	// By this point dh is just about as useless as null.
  | }
  |         catch (Exception ex) { ... }
  |

Someone please help, I've wasted a week of company time trying to make this work!  Thanks so much.
