We are using an Axis (Axis 1.1 final) client to send SOAP Messages with attachments.
I was trying to find out how it might be possible to change the
character encoding of the SOAP part to something other than UTF-8.
By looking at the source code I found that the character-encoding in this case is
hard-coded SerializationContextImpl.java and MimeUtils.java
UTF-8 seems to be also hard coded in case of a SOAP Message without attachments
(see Message.java).
I was wondering that character encoding can not be configured in such a great and flexible
toolkit as Axis is. Did I miss something important?
I did not look yet into the server side implementation. Can Axis handle
different character encoding as a server?
