Subject: Re: Converting an xml file to byte array in ruby

Thanks for the help Robert. I am really trying hard to understand the 
problem and to make it clear in my query as well.

I used the above information about Base64 provided by you and I get a 
SOAP response (status 200) along with the request parameters which I 
provided.

The WebService defines file_data parameter to be base64Binary, and I 
have the equivalent code in java as follows:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileList[i]);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
for (int readNum; (readNum = fis.read(buff)) != -1;)
{
   bos.write(buff, 0, readNum);
}
byte[] blob = bos.toByteArray();

I am investigating why I am getting a status 200 error.

Thanks again for your time. I will post my findings as I work my way 
forward.
