Hi Axl.
In the current Apache-SOAP implementation, the entire file attachment is 
read into memory before it is sent, and similarily when received I 
believe. Consequently, when I send many SOAP messages each with a large 
file attachment to a server the server quickly runs of memory, 
exceptions are thrown and threads die.
Obviously not what you want to see when building a robust application.
If I may suggest then that this "in memory" issue be given some 
consideration in your future implementation of file attachments.

Cheers,
Robert Walker
