With SOAP 2.3.1, one uses the SOAPContext class to access attachments, and the SOAPContext instance is obtained from SOAPHTTPConnection. This means doing roughly
SOAPHTTPConnection shc = new SOAPHTTPConnection() ... Call call = new Call(); call.setTransport(shc); ... Response resp = call.invoke(...); SOAPContext ctx = shc.getResponseSOAPContext(); You can then access the message parts from ctx.
