Ok! What I mean is when I have a DataHandler I can get an input stream to the reach the attachment data. But what if I have the following xml. How do I get my xml document: | <my-xml> | <list-of-something> | <something> | <normal-xml> | <textual-info-1> SOME TEXTUAL INFO 1 </textual-info-1> | <textual-info-2> SOME TEXTUAL INFO 2 </textual-info-2> | </normal-xml> | <binary>this part will go as MTOM attachment</binary> | <something> | <something> | <normal-xml> | <textual-info-1> SOME TEXTUAL INFO 1 </textual-info-1> | <textual-info-2> SOME TEXTUAL INFO 2 </textual-info-2> | </normal-xml> | <binary>this part will go as MTOM attachment</binary> | <something> | </list-of-something> | </my-xml> | Are there two methods that are invoked in the implementing code. As I understand the DataHandler will give me the InputStream to the attachment (binary in above xml). But there is no way to get the rest of the xml, or is it?
