I've always laughed (somewhat derisively) when I've heard Java people
say how "simple and elegant" their solutions are. The truth is, if
anyone has the ability to turn a simple problem into something
convoluted and complex, it's the Java people.
PHP Soap is a perfect example of how things can be simple and elegant.
But, alas, I have to return to the murky world of Axis and Java because
they actually do support attachments, DIME in particular. It is
unfortunate, but I didn't write these specs, and I have to code to them.
And no, I don't have time to rewrite or modify or enhance or
re-encapsulate parts of PHP.
A sad state of affairs, to be sure.
