WSDL MIME Issues

Simon,

I been trying to track down an article that is attributed to you concerning
the use of SwA/multipart MIME and WSDL.

Specifically, I am trying to figure a way of being able to create a WSDL
that allows for an arbritary number of attachment parts associated with an
input or output message.

I was given this snippet, but is there more ??

Cheers

Fraser

== snippet begins

"All in all, WSDL & Attachments is not a good place to be !"

However that doesn't mean the end of the line. You can create a "content
mime part"  that uses a  multipart/related media type, e.g.

<mime:part>
<mime:content part="body" type="multipart/related;
boundary=BoUnDaRy-987123"/>
</mime:part>

This places all of the content "body parts" into one body part within the
SwA multipart/related envelope. These "sub body parts" are accessible to a
mime parser via the Content-ID contained in the href associated with each
part from within the SOAP body.
