Welcome back Arun! Sorry to switch the topic so quickly after such a nice trip, but this will help get you back into "work mode" anyway: Can SAAJ be used with MTOM (like it can with SwA) to send a binary document? Googling is inconclusive on that. (If the answer is "no", I would guess that means SAAJ is becoming somewhat obsolete, or?) Also, if I understand correctly, if you use SAAJ to create a client for a commercial web service, you don’t need Metro or any other web service stack at all then, correct?
Thanks,
Glen

Glen, MTOM-style attachments cannot be sent using SAAJ. Any commercial Web service would require some sort of authentication, security or likely a protocol handshake for certificates or quality-of-service. Metro can handle that very transparently where as SAAJ is only targeted for hand crafting SOAP messages. Also, SAAJ has no concept of WSDL at all.
