Sergio,
The project looks great and is a much welcomed addition to the
community projects. Thanks for keeping us updated.

I noticed on your wiki pages, you guys are in need of a mime object
plugin and you are experiencing some minor issues with the WDA SAPlink
plugin. We would love for your team to help us out on these. Since
the mime objects themselves are binary, the plugin could at least know
the path for import and then allow the person installing the nugget to
specify where their mime objects are located locally on their file
system. This would allow people to still be able to package and zip
up their mime objects with their nuggets. As for any bugs/issues,
patches are always welcome.

Cheers,
ewH

this would be a very unelegant and awkward solution. base64 encoded (or
similar) binary content is what need instead. this integrates very well
with the XML-format of SAPLink.

if anyone wants to tackle this task and needs some help, just contact me.

Great idea, Nicola. That would indeed provide a much more simple and
elegant solution. I hope the community steps up on this one, because
there are many times where I could have used this plugin myself.

So what do you say, elegant finder guys? Judging from what I've seen,
I'm sure your team and Nicola could whip us up a plugin in no time. :)

Thanks for the assistance Eddie,
yes the idea from Nicola base64 enc is great.
I used it to transfer pdf documents via XML.
Regarding the plugin, I'm not yet ready to develop a new one and
in case I'll begin with an easier one.
The available ABAP is neither so bad, so I think the priority can
be quite low.
I would point the attention indeed on the OTR objects...
About the issues, I'll summarize them and I let you know, I have
an interesting one linked to a CLASs that implement an INTFerface.

Ciao,
Sergio

I confirm, I was "drunk".
SAPlink now works fine also with classes using interfaces...
