[jbossws-dev] Re: DIME support on JBoss EAP 4.3

[Thomas Diesler]

Hi Lucas,

we do not support DIME and, which is also not on our roadmap. Instead we 
support SOAP with Atachments (SwA) and XOP/MTOM.

Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) is a Microsoft-proposed 
internet standard for the transfer of binary and other encapsulated data 
over SOAP.

According to the IETF web site, the standard has been withdrawn and 
never made RFC status.

Axis (especially 1.x), because of its numerous inherent problems, not 
standardized API, poor support for document literal is not supported in 
JBoss. A migration to standard J2EE web services (i.e. JAX-WS) should be 
considered.

cheers
