Hi All:

I have this question on attachments in Axis2; I had asked this a while ago but 
didn't get any responses. We are stuck with this and so would greatly 
appreciate your thoughts/pointers/answers.

Until recently our Axis based service implementation was not supporting 
attachments. We now enabled attachments support by enabling MTOM/SwA in our 
service.xml. After this we see that whether our clients send attachments or not 
in the requests they always get the response along with a new MIME boundary 
header like the one below which seems to break their code that was build 
earlier when we were not supporting attachments:

> --MIME_boundary
> message data
> --MIME_boundary
> message data
> --MIME_boundary--

According to 
http://www.ws-i.org/profiles/attachmentsprofile-1.0-2004-08-24.html#Messages_with_No_Attachments
 if the requests do not have attachments then the response should not contain 
mime boundary. So how to support attachments so that if the requests do not 
have attachments then the responses won't have mime boundaries?

Sincerely,
