I’m not sure here what you want todo.

You cannot export an attachment to an XML file as XML only accepts plain text.

If it are images or such maybe a JSUM would work.

Personally, I’d just make the attachment available on a physical drive for whatever platform you want to use it. In the XML file you can simply supply a tag with the location of attachment.

Yes, I want to make the attachment available on a physical drive and in the XML file I want to simply supply a tag with the location of attachment.

The file will have to be handled as a Base64-encoded CDATA section if it’s not a plain text file. If you export the document to DXL, the attachments should already be there as Base64-encoded data – you can export a document to a DXL file (using the example code given in the help entry for NotesDXLExporter) to see what you’re going to get.
