Hi Dan > on the Client side, its all or nothing.
I'm not sure what you mean. If the service's WSDL has an MTOM assertion attached, then : * if the assertion is not optional then the client-side interceptor knows it has to do MTOM, because this is what the service requires * if the assertion is optional then this interceptor can do some reasoning on whether to do MTOM or not... You're saying that it's not possible to do it at the moment, which is not a big problem per se, it's just limits the scope of what the client can do. In this case, one option is to configuire the client side explicitly to do MTOM if the service has the optional MTOM assertion. But this option (configuring the client) is not really required because this will make "MTOM always". On the client side one still can avoid the configuration (assuming the client runtime is policy aware) by just updating the MTOM handler to always do MTOM when it sees the service's MTOM assertion, whether it's optional or not. I'm also thinking that perhaps a custom version of the DataHandlers or JAXB marchallers can be provided to let the MTOM handler to do some reasoning when seeing am optional MTOM assertion, what do you reckon ?

MTOM interceptor on the client side can check if it's required, if yes, then use MTOM, if not, then consider whether to use it or not anyway by checking the size of the outgoing message against the default or preconfigured value, etc... This is will be a no client configuration story (for MTOM)... Its not possible to check the size of the outgoing message or even just the attachment. The DataHandler API doesn't expose it (and nor does the JAXB AttachmentMarhsaller APIs), so on the Client side, its all or nothing. - Dan -- Dan Diephouse Envoi Solutions http://envoisolutions.com | http://netzooid.com/blog
