Abstract
A method and system for processing MTOM messages comprising a root document and one or more binary attachments referenced by the root document, in a Web service requester or provider. When an inbound MTOM message is received, a pipeline comprising a plurality of message handlers is selected to process the received message. The message is unpackaged by separating the binary attachments from the root document, and the pipeline properties are checked to determine if conversion of the message is required. Responsive to the result of the determination, either conversion of the message is carried out, by encoding the binary data in each of the attachments and replacing each reference in the root document to a binary attachment with the encoded data for that attachment, and processing the converted message by the pipeline, or the root document and binary attachments are processed by the pipeline.
