How are you sending the file - as a SAAJ attachment? Encoded as ASCII as part of the message content? Some other way? TellTheDetails, possibly showing some relevant code excerpts.

File is not a type that can be transferred over WS; it has meaning only on the machine where it is defined. You need to define a method that returns the actual file contents in a way that's compatible with SOAP, e.g. a base-64-encoded String of the byte[] of the file contents.

If the approach I outlined isn't what you're looking for, you might want to read the articles "Transferring files over a web service" and "Sending SOAP attachments with JAX-RPC" that are linked in the http://faq.javaranch.com/java/WebServicesFaq

If you are using Axis for web services. you can use DataSource.

You need to be more specific. A DataSource class exists in both the javax.sql and javax.activation packages. While only the latter makes sense in this context, the connection to Axis still isn't clear - please provide mode details about the solution you're proposing.
