Currently, it is not possible to add attachments using jaxws's attachments.

There are some options to get the wiring of attachments (of cxf and jaxws) working.

Option 1
change the WrappedMessageContext's put method so that the cxf's native attachments-set gets added when the jaxws attachments-map is added.
This is probably the simplest approach. But its limitation is that you cannot reflect any change of the original jaxws attachments-map into the actual cxf's attachments-set stored in the context, once this cxf's attachments-set is created and inserted.

Option 2
introduce package local WrappedAttachments that holds the original jaxws's attachments-map and expose it as the cxf's attachments-set. That means, when the jaxws's attachments-map is inserted, WrappedMessageContext can wrap it with WrappedAttachments which is treated as cxf's attachments-set. In this way, any operations on cxf's attachments-set or jaxws' attachments-map remain consistent. 

Option 2 is more flexible than option 1 and prevents potential confusion. So, I think we can choose option 2.
