You can pass any file as xsd:base64Binary. On the java/j2ee this will simply be a byte[] which you can easily write into a FileOutputStream instance or the like.

I successfully use this together with a C program using gSOAP, which has a stub generator that creates a struct xsd__base64Binary which can be used to read/write files over to a SOAP webservice.
Note that the reverse (returning a file from JBoss-Net) does work the same way, but needs a lot of memory here (see http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t= for details).

And then we can eagerly await the implementation of the W3C recommended SOAP 1.2 standard: http://www.zdnet.com.au/itmanager/trends/story/0,2000029592,20274323,00.htm

They promise that there will be a number of XML-oriented enhancements that will make it easier to manipulate data formatted as XML documents.
