  2. Passing binary files in webservices[ Go to top ]

    Please use base64 encoding which will remain same across the platform.

    You can get huge information on base64 encoding on net

  3. MTOM to the rescue[ Go to top ]

    You should consider MTOM, which was created for precisely this purpose (binary attachements). MTOM is available through the JWSDP and WCF (aka Indigo). Sun is also committed to keeping these two stacks fully interoperable (see here).

    Best,
