I am having a rather frustrating issue trying to call a web service that requires an attachment.

This is the error:

Unexpected Attachment type =class
java.lang.Object

from here:

class=”com.sun.xml.ws.client.sei.ResponseBuilder$AttachmentBuilder”
file=”ResponseBuilder.java” line=”250″
method=”createAttachmentBuilder”

The method the web proxy gives me is this:

  public Reply putDocument(
    @WebParam(targetNamespace="uri:put.document", partName="request", name="request")
      StoreType request,
    @WebParam(targetNamespace="", partName="put", name="put")
      Object put);

What I cannot figure out is what to pass in for “put”, which is only defined as an Object.

I have tried:

byte[]
String
DataHandler(ByteArrayDataSource)
uri.put_document.ObjectFactory.createPut(byte[])
AttachmentPart

I have also tried looking for the code but haven’t had luck so far.

EDIT: WSDL is as follows.

    I expect the type attribute in the mime:content element to contain a MIME type, eg. “application/octet-stream”, “application/pdf” or “text/plain” rather than “binary”.

    Using javax.activation.DataHandler should work, and I think you should be able to fix the MIME type of the attachment, and then use a DataHandler instance or a type appropriate to the MIME type (eg. java.awt.Image for “image/jpeg”).

    You say you have tried a DataHandler, but you haven’t provided the exception for that case. If that still fails, what happens when you try it?
