MTOM Capabilities

This sample demonstrates the capabilities of Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM). An MTOM Web Service accepts a fileName and a DataHandler. The DataHandler contains the binary content which is eventually saved to a temporary location in a given fileName.

Building and Running the Sample

To build the samples you need Apache Ant build tool.

Note:
Apache Ant 1.6.2 or higher is needed.

The steps are as follows:

1. Install and run the WSO2 Application Server. Refer to the  Installation Guide for instructions.

2. In a command prompt, switch to the MTOM directory.

For example, cd <AS_HOME>\samples\MTOM

3. From there, type ant .

The generated service (MTOMSample.aar) gets copied to <AS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/axis2services automatically. Start the Application Server using <AS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh (in Linux) or <AS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat (in Windows).

Use the script run-client.sh or run-client.bat file to invoke the client using arguments

  • file : Full Path of the file that needs to be sent to the service (mandatory)
  •   fileName : Name of file to be created at the server side (optional)  
  • e : Endpoint URL of the service (optional)  
  • help : For Help

For example, ./run-client.sh -file /tmp/wwe.jpg -fileName wresting.jpg

Note:
Sometimes, it is necessary to clean the services repository before you generate and deploy the service and run the client. In order to do that, delete services created from previous samples.
