javax.xml.bind.attachment

This package is implemented by a MIME-based package processor that enables the interpretation and creation of optimized binary data within an MIME-based package format.

Soap MTOM[1], XOP([2][3]) and WS-I AP[4] standardize approaches to optimized transmission of binary datatypes as an attachment. To optimally support these standards within a message passing environment, this package enables an integrated solution between a MIME-based package processor and JAXB unmarshall/marshal processes.

Enable JAXB marshalling to optimize storage of binary data.

This API enables an efficient cooperative creation of optimized binary data formats between a JAXB marshalling process and a MIME-based package processor.

Enables JAXB unmarshalling of a root document containing optimized binary data formats.

This API enables an efficient cooperative processing of optimized binary data formats between a JAXB 2.0 implementation and MIME-based package processor (MTOM/XOP and WS-I AP 1.0).
