I am using WBI5.0 with latest CSD's, and I am attempting to place a PDF file onto a queue, and have a message flow place the binary PDF file into a database (among other things). The message has XML tags on the outside, and a binary file on the inside, and I do some basic work based on the xml tags, but when I attempt to place the PDF file into a database, it appears the binary data has been corrupted. 
What should I check? |

Well, the first question should be. Is it "legal" to have binary data in XML without it being encoded someway into "normal" characters. If it's left as binary, then the first problem I can see is that if any byte value translate to <, >, &, or any other "known" XML characters, the parser will automatically change them to the <, >, &, etc. representations.
And don't even think about the implications of converting between code pages.
Cheers,

| You need to base64 encode the binary data. |
