I'm not sure if we want to decode base64Binary, or pass them through as is and let the application do the decoding.
I think base64Binary should be decoded by the class. Sounds logic to me, because the Application is normally interessted in the value not in the encoding... Christian
I've been thinking about this. The purpose of the soap library is to serialize and unserialize data to/from soap messages and provide transports for them. I think it's unwise to anticipate that any given application is going to want the data transformed automaticaly after serialization. I think it's best to leave the data as-is, and let the application make the decision what to do with it. Shane
