Hi,

We are doing some tests using enableMTOM=optional. I did search the
lists quite a bit, but I'm still a bit confused about the following.

We originally built the service for MTOM aware clients but our
assumption (as often happens) turns out to be incorrect. Some of the
clients will not be MTOM aware whatsoever. In fact some of the clients
will be WebSphere web service clients (non Axis2 / non-MTOM).  The
methods in question return PDF files along with other information.

So, the question is: if we set enableMTOM=optional and we have some
clients that are MTOM aware and some that are MTOM oblivious, will we
get the expected result?

In my mind the expected result would be that the non-MTOM clients will
get base64 responses, while the MTOM aware clients will get the
optimized MIME responses. Is this correct?

Also, if the above is true, then how does the service determine if the
client is MTOM aware or not?

Many thanks,
