Hello gladiator,
DIME (Direct Internet Message Encapsulation) is a W3C standard so you should not have problem using it but DIME is quite dead.
If you need to add attachments to your soap message, you can use:
1. base64 encoding
2. MTOM (Message Transimmission Optimization Mechanism)
The second method is quite young so I don't know if there are toolkits that supports it.
I think that at this moment, if you want to do something quikly (but quite dirty), the best way is to use base64 encording.
Use DIME only if you need a clean solution (using DIME you have separation from message and attachments) and you need to add multiple attachments in the same message.
For more information, look at
