If you use a DataHandler you'll have a axis only service. From my experience the only reliable way to interoperate is to send the DIME out of band, that is, outside the wsdl. Each tool has its tricks: DataHandler for axis, modified xsd__base64Binary for gsoap, etc. Using them will tie you to the tool.
