Problem sending attachments of size >= 16K using axis

[AnujA]

I have written webservices using axis 1.4 and Java 1.4
When I send attachments of size less then 16K everything works fine.
But If I send an attachment of size more than 16K then I get following
exception on windows(Everything works fine on linux). Please suggest
what could be the issue.

I have written webservices using axis 1.4 and Java 1.4
When I send attachments of size less then 16K everything works fine.
But If I send an attachment of size more than 16K then I get following
exception on windows(Everything works fine on linux). Please suggest
what could be the issue.

{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:java.io.IOException: The
filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)

These are all just wild guesses:
1.) smaller attachments may be kept entirely in memory, so they
sneak around the real problem.
2.) Some path-setting may have an illegal value:
e.g. some setting that expects only one path may contain
a list of paths, and resultingly some file like:
"C:\foo;D:\bar\tempfile"
is attempted to be created.
3.) Due to some (configuration-)bug it attempts to use an
URL (http://...) as the place for the tempfile.

Probably the temporary attachments directory isn't configured correctly.

Try to set the value of "attachments.directory" to a valid directory on
the Windows platform.

I am also facing another issue relate with name of the attachment.
I am sending my attachment as a parameter of type DataHandler to my
webservice. At the server, If I do attachment.getName(), it returns
me a temporary name like Axis30297.att. Is it possible to get the
exact name of the file using the attachment (without a need to send it
as a sepaarte parameter) ?

Another issue that I am facing is related with attachments name. I am
sending the attachment as a parameter of type DataHandler to the web
service.At the server when I do attachment.getName(), it returns me
some temp name like Axis30297.att. Is there any way of directly
getting the name from the attachment object without a need to send the
name as separate parameter?
