You can use SwA for file transfer.  The HTTP payload containing the file being sent is serialized into memory.  A file sender must have sufficient memory to do this.  The receiving code will read the entire HTTP payload into memory, and JavaMail may create an additional copy of the attachment, so the file receiver needs enough memory to hold 2 copies of the attachment.

As you can see, Apache SOAP is not a good option for transferring large files.  Axis, on the other hand, does not make all of these in-memory copies, so it would be a better alternative if you want to use SOAP for file transfers.
