SOAP attachments, MIME types and DataHandlers are explained pretty well in
Chapter 3 of O'Reilly's "Java Web Services in a Nutshell", which is
available for free online:

> A JAX-RPC implementation is required to support the following MIME
> types to bind to various Java types according as JAX-RPC ver 1.0.
> In other words, 'application/msword' is not required, basically.
>
> MIME Type | Java Type
> -----------------------------+-----------------------------------
> image/gif | java.awt.Image
> image/jpeg | java.awt.Image
> text/plain | java.lang.String
> multipart/* | javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart
> text/xml or application/xml | javax.xml.transform.Source
>
> So if you have any trouble with the DataHandler(obj, mimeType)
> and a MIME type not specified above like as 'application/msword',
> that meets the specification.
>
> However, you have a chance to set other MIME types to your response
> with a constructor 'DataHandler(DataSource ds)'.
> And, please refer to the following site;
> <http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/activation/
> MimetypesFileTypeMap.html>
>
> If you want to add new entries programmatically, see below;
> <snippet>
> String strMimeType = "application/msword doc";
> javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap map =
> new javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap();
> map.addMimeTypes(strMimeType);
> javax.activation.FileTypeMap.setDefaultFileTypeMap( map );
> </snippet>

> P.S.
> It seems that you also have any other mistake on serializer
> configuration. Check again.
