Also there might be some complication with this issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2808967/mtom-request-non-mtom-response.

Possible Solutions

All the solutions are backward compatible.

1. One WSDL rule them all
   1. MTOMize only "blue" operations
   2. MTOMize all MTOMizable operations
2. New WSDLs and endpoints for MTOMized version of API
3. Routing

1.a Image Added

Pros:

• 1.a
  •  The easiest solution
  •  The smallest set of operations in the API.
• 1.b
• 2
• 3

Cons:

• 1.a 
  • It is not transparent for the client when calling, say, ingest() whether the request is MTOMized or not, since the server-side can handle both. This will hold also for method ingestMTOM() from solution 1b).

...

• • Not consistent in that sense that not all methods which use MTOM have "MTOM" suffix in their name.
