Re: WSDL with attachments

Nope... MIME is not SwA...
MIME is just a packaging format.. It has accepted as a packaging format. It relies on unique boundary strings  to identify the parts.
DIME is an another packaging format introduced by MSFT. They used it with Ws-Attachments.. DIME relies on content-length to identify parts..

SwA,WS-A, MTOM are the standards.
Axis2 now supports MTOM & SwA and uses MIME as the packaging format...

I need a clarification on this topic -

 

For SOAP v1.1, there are two standards for attachments - MIME (aka SwA) and DIME. WS-I has recommended MIME.  Is DIME popular among the vendors other than Microsoft? Does SOAP/WebServices vendors (other than Microsoft) supports DIME?

 

For SOAP v1.2, MTOM will be the standard for attachment. Will MTOM replace MIME and DIME in SOAP 1.2?

 

thanks,

Last week Axis2 MTOM & WSE3.0 July CTP succesfully interop for a simple sample. There were few issues in earlier CTP's with respect to MIME handling, which they have corrected in the July CTP.
