No. What that means is that:
1. you parse MIME package
2. you pick up the XML part of it
3. you implement AttachmentUnmarshaller
4. you set AttachmentUnmarshaller to JAXB
5. you tell JAXB to unmarshal the XML part.
JavaMail has a very handy MIME handling classes to make it relatively
painless to do the above.

JAX-WS does all the 5 steps illustrated above, but you can do it if you
want to process XOP outside JAX-WS.
