Description

Our service returns a Datasource whos getContentType() method returns "application/octect-stream". Method is named getMessage() and returns a DataHandler and a messageId in a wrapped type.

Our service also contains a method to remove the file source associated with this Datasource by passing the messageId in the request.

A client side test fails because the message can't be deleted, presumably b/c an InputStream to the file is left open.

This only recently became an issue as before we were returning type "text/xml", which worked as expected. It was desirable to change the type as our WSDL has the xmime:expectedContentTypes="application/octet-stream" attribute on the base64Binary type so we can use DataHandlers on the client side.

Unfortunately we switched back to using text/xml.
