Hello all,

I tried this way but it seems like the context is not reset and so the 
attachment gets added to every subsequent message. That means that every 
webservice call afterwards will have this attachment. The workaround I am 
considering is storing the attachment in a local thread and insert back in an 
outerceptor. Any better ideas ?

I am having some problems on a larger scale with CXF interceptors but also JAX-
WS handlers because they seem extremely complicated in the way they operate 
(especially with the interceptor chain and the cachedOutputStream business with 
CXF). And I seem to learn everything from threads in forums which feels wrong on 
so many levels. Is this normal ??

Thanks and regards,

John.
