MTOM attachments do not need to be inlined. For example Microsoft Indigo and some other Java stacks (I don't know if JBossWS too) provide some kind of "MTOM SAAJ Text Element", which contains just MIME attachment id as its content (when you're sniffing the wire communcation). However from SOAP stack point of view when some other SAAJ handler that is in the handler chain tries to read the content of this special text element, it will obtain attachment binary data encoded in base64 canonical format instead of the attachment id. However on the wire it goes as the MIME attachment. This has also some performance consequences. For example if application sends MTOM in the form of MIME attachment and there's some handler in the handler chain that needs to work with this MTOM attachment content (e.g. WSSecurity SAAJ handler), this attachment must be encoded to base64 canonical format and that value is returned to the requestor. When processing really big attachments this fact causes real performance issues.
