In order to build a web service that sends SOAP messages with binary MIME attachments, is there support for this in the generated Axis stub objects or in the JAX-RPC API? Right now we can only approach this by "hand-crafting" the SOAP message from scratch. Is this statement correct?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Tere are two options with Axis2, from which you can choose one.
1. MTOM (SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism)
2. SwA (SOAP Messages with Attachments)
Apache Axis2 exposes the attachment handling functionality through the MessageContext API. You can attach, access, or remove attachments belonging to a message using the org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext in this API. Alternatively, you can also get a reference to the attachment map to directly manipulate the attachments.

Can I get to the MessageContext from the service's implementation object, e.g. MyServiceSoapBindingImpl?
Or, is the only way to touch the SOAP message is to "hand-write" it with the javax.xml.soap package?
