Altova Mailing List Archives


Arbitrary content (including XML) as binary stream

Hi,

In a certain Client/Server setup the following data-types are
supported:
binary, b64-encoded binary, boolean, char, int, float, date and xml.

As can be seen, the "Any" data type is not supported.

Each message exchanged between the client and the server has a
specific data-type.  I am planning to "emulate" the Any data type in
this setup by trying to use the binary data type in lieu of Any, since
binary stream is the most fundamental of all data types.  Are there
any issues I can run into?  Someone told me that the encoding scheme
used in XML (ASCII, UTF-8, Unicode etc.) will give me some grief but I
don't fully comprehend the issue.  After all, at a certain level
everything reduces to bits and bytes.

Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ramesh
