It is possible to handle SOAP attachments with the Axis2BC component. Here is the use case scenario :

  • Sample client send message with attachments to the an axis2 endpoint (axis2-MTOM-provides SA)
  • Axis2BC handle the incoming JBI message and make a WS call to external WS
  • Axis2BC receive the SOAP message (axis2-MTOM-consumes SA) and make a call to the FTBC endpoint (ftpbc-MTOM-provides SA)
  • The FTBC handle the incoming JBI message, writes the message and its attachments to the file system

You must install the Axis2BC and FTBC components first.
Then you must deploy the service assembly in this order (The required service units are provided as attachments):
  1. FTBC SA
  2. All the Axis2 SA
