Wondering if you have enabled the following? To enableMTOM globally for all services, users can set the "enableMTOM" parameter to True in the Axis2.xml. When it is set, all outgoing messages will be serialized and sent as MTOM optimized MIME messages. If it is not set, all the binary data in the binary content nodes will be serialized as Base64 encoded strings. This configuration can be overriden in services.xml on the basis of per service and per operation.

I enabled XOP in the Axis2 configuaration. All messages are returned as XOP+MTOM responses, but the attachment is encoded as Base64 string the SOAPEnvelope. The problem occurs with Axis2 v1.4 and 1.6. I use the following code in my service to attach the attachment : byte[] covRaw = getCoverage(); final javax.activation.DataHandler dataHandler = new javax.activation.DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(covRaw, "application/coverage")); final OMText textData = covElement.getOMFactory().createOMText(dataHandler, true); covElement.addChild(textData); Example response, the Base64 encoded string is located in the wcs:Coverage element.
