------------------------------------------

No problem at all. Luckily not many people uses B64 nowadays and the alternatives work perfectly.

> In a previous issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5912) we were advised to update CXF version to avoid OOM errors.
> We did so (to 2.74) and the problem was fixed, we also applied a size limit of 20MB using the `org.apache.cxf.stax.maxTextLength` property.
> However, the memory consumption in the server is extremely higher than the actual data sent, having 1GB of Heap we get OOM sending just 6 concurrent requests of 20 MB.
> Reviewing some documents and other JIRA issues, we understand that Base64 is not optimized and not recomended. Can you confirm if this is the case or if there is a way to optimize how Base64 attachments are processed.
> Otoh, MTOM works like a charm ;)
