Response is MTOM with Attachment - What format is the Dump File in (and how do I decode it) ?
I have a WebService (Oracle Fusion to be exact) which is meant to download a file as an MTOM Attachment;
In the Request on SOAP-UI I left all properties as default, except "Enable MTOM"= true, and "Dump File" I specify the path of a file.
After I execute the request, the Response comes back ok (Just a normal soap / xml response, including the following fragment::
<ns2:File name="" href="Some-File-name-etc-which-is-a-Microsoft-Excel-File-whatever.xlsx">
<ns2:Contents>
<xop:Include
href="cid:c1cb91f1-e389-41ce-a941-4347afe74036"
xmlns:xop="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" />
</ns2:Contents>
</ns2:File>
- The Dump File gets written to disk - But what exactly are the contents of the Dump file ?
- And what format is it ?
- And how do I decode it ?
- Does the dump file include the request soapenv, the response soapenv, both request/response soap, just the attachment ?
- Is this documented anywhere on the SoapUI site ?
Answering my own question, I struggled with this un-necessarily. Could the powers that be please document more info on the Dump File ?
After examining the raw response, I could see "Content-Encoding: gzip"; I guess this would be dependent on the config of the web-server / service.
So I pulled out my fav lib GZipStream (C#) to decode the dump file, and got an intelligible format for the dump file. And the answer is the Dump File contains only the Body Response (+ Attachment embedded in there as a binary for my case).
