Hi Steve, Thanks for the paper, it is helpful. I gather that it makes sense to support both MIME and DIME attachments in order to increase interoperability -- probably with two different operations in order to be able to specify the MIME-type of the MIME attachment in the WSDL binding.
Your code samples are useful, but I'd really like to see the WSDL. I am leery of using "DataHandler" in my WSDL because it seems Java-specific. I like the idea of specifying the attachment file type as "anyType" in the message description and describing the mime-type as "application/octet-stream" because it "feels" generic and WSDL2Java creates a nice client which handles the attachment. The only qualm I have is that the client maps the mime-part to an Object which may not be very efficient.
