web services to upload and transmit binary data
843833Jun 4 2006 — edited Jun 9 2006Hi Folks,
I would like to write a web service that enables a java-based client to upload and download multiple files into a MySQL database (basically an off-line/online client).
I would like to do this process as a wsdl-described Web Service as I believe that the customer would like to include the ability to include a .NET client at a later date (oh well...).
I have downloaded Studio 8.1 and created a Web Service that returns populated custom classes to both Java and .NET client applications.
However, I have been struggling to find a way to submit and transmit binary file-based data, other than firing multiple web service requests that split up the file with about 10k's worth, then reassembling this on the server or client. I think this would probably have a high overhead, so would prefer to use an established API instead:-)
Is there any Java Web Service technology that I can harness ? Any help or guidance would be greatfully appreciated.
Many thanks,
DarrylB
