Add a binary attachment to a message

[Legacy User]

We need to read a (binary or text) file from the MySQL database and attach it as a binary file to a SOAP message (as a multipart/related attachment). In other words, we need an assertion “add attachment to message” where the attachment can be text or binary data. That assertion should create a new multipart related message and change the original message as the mainpart, if the current message is not already multipart/related. The preceding step, retrieving the data from the database, should also preserve the binary data and not convert it to text. Does anyone know how to do this?

I don't know, short of using an XSLT or building it out in a template. I assume you would want this as SOAP with Attachment? Or MTOM? Or are you thinking about something different?

There is  a custom assertion called AssembleMimeMessageAssertion that can be used to build a Multipart message and include SOAP attachments in response. This assertion is not supplied Out of the Box but  can be obtained via a support  ticket request.
