MTOM/XOP root MIME part does not contain charset parameter
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBWS-3315
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3315
             Project: JBoss Web Services
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: jbossws-native
    Affects Versions:  jbossws-native-3.2.2
            Reporter: Brad Maxwell
            Assignee: Alessio Soldano
             Fix For: jbossws-native-3.3.0.CR1

Web service responses sent from JBoss that are MTOM/XOP encoded cannot be parsed by some clients because the root MIME part does not contain charset parameter.  

RFC2616 Sections 14.17 and 3.7.1 state that the charset is not required unless it differs from the implicit default of "ISO-8859-1".  JBossWS is encoding the root MIME part in UTF8, so the charset must be provided.

As such, this is a bug in JBossWS.
