SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism
SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism ( MTOM ) is the W3C recommendation for the transmission of binary data in web services . It uses XML-binary Optimized Packaging (XOP) for the optimized transmission of binary data.
MTOM replaces the usual techniques for the transmission of binary data such as the use of CDATA blocks, Base64 coding, SOAP with attachments using MIME , and Microsoft's Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME).
The recommendation was accepted by the W3C in January 2005 after preparatory work since 2003.
support
MTOM is supported by all common SOAP frameworks, including Apache Axis , Apache CXF , Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT), Windows Communication Foundation .
