Sending data with web services

[Jim]

Hi

I am a newbie with web services, when you want to actually send data with
web services (instead of downloading data from the server side) what is the
way to go about?

Hi Jim,

Sending data (AKA pasing parameters) is an intrinsic part of method design.
Most methods take some form of input and produce some form of output.
This is all data.

So with web services, you make the input parameters the proper data type -
a strongly typed interface - and then the requesting party passes that data
at the time they make a request.

I hope this helps

Hello Jim,

I think what you are looking for is DIME attachments [0]. You can send data
as parameters too as suggested by Dan. They need to be base 64 encoded [1]

are you saying that they have to call the webservice on my web server? i
have to pass the data right not the requesting party?
