Thank you for pointing this out. However, what about the problem of
attachment to a different request. Right now, after the the first
request the receive an attachment, using the same stub to make another
request (a different function call) would then send the attachment.
This should not happen at all because the 2nd request does not have
attachment. If store the attachment separately for request and
response, this means that if the 1st request send an attachment, then
the 2nd request (which does not have attachment in the function call) is
made would also send the attachment.

But I think that the devs should give attention to this problem.
This problem is reported to Jira several times. The related ones are:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1433
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1430
The problem is org.apache.axis.Stub's 'attachments' member.
Stub uses 'attachments' in both request and response.
After receving soap message, the stub's extractAttachments() method stores the response attachments
to its 'attachements' member.
On the next call, the setAttachments() method stores the previous attachments to the request soap message.
I think the axis's stub class is designed to handle attachments more flexiblely like this:
(in test.wsdl.interop4.groupG.dime.doc.DimeDocInteropTestCase's test5DimeDocSoapPortEchoUnrefAttachments())
AttachmentsPortType binding = ...;
DataHandler dh = ...
((org.apache.axis.client.Stub)binding).addAttahcment(dh);
binding.echoUnrefAttachments(); // Stub.setAttchment() and Stub.extractAttachement() called.
Object attachments[] = ((org.apache.axis.client.Stub)binding).getAttachments();
I think the Stub should have two seperate attachments member for request and response
for retaining interfaces above and fixing the bugs reported.
The methods for attachment need to be rearranged:
getAttachments : (deprecated) use getResponseAttachments() instead.
clearAttachments : clear all REQ/RESP attachments
addAttachment : adding attachment to REQUEST attachment
setAttchment : storing REQUEST attachments to soap message
extractAttachment : extracting RESPONSE attachment from soap message
getRequestAttachments: (NEW) returning the REQUEST attachments
getResponseAttachments: (NEW) returning the RESPONSE attachments
Any opinion?

When using DataHandler, Axis would often erroneously send the attached
data in the next different request (that has no attachment whatsoever).
This is an error by itself and also causes application freezes up. I
believe this is really a serious issue and a show stopper. Please vote
