The service method can either process the attachment in some way or ignore it, in which case nothing happens to the attachment on the server.
The attachment can be processed by 2 means. First, a parameter of type DataHandler will be associated with an attachment. The client will serialize it as an attachment and the server deserialize it into the DataHandler. Second, the service method can specify its first parameter to be of type SOAPContext, in which case the context for the request will be passed to the method. From that context, code in the method can extract any and all attachments.
