Soap w/ Attachments without swaRef?

Hiya,

I'm looking for a way to use JAXB with a legacy WSDL which doesn't use the
wsi:swaRef type. Here's what the message looks like:

  <wsdl:message name="echoDataRequest">
    <wsdl:part name="text" type="xsd:string" />
    <wsdl:part name="data" type="xsd:base64Binary" />
  </wsdl:message>

And my binding:operation:

    <wsdl:operation name="echoData">
      <soap:operation soapAction="" style="literal" />
      <wsdl:input>
        <mime:multipartRelated>
          <mime:part name="body">
            <soap:body parts="text" use="literal" />
          </mime:part>
          <mime:part name="data">
            <mime:content part="data" type="application/octet-stream" />
          </mime:part>
        </mime:multipartRelated>
      </wsdl:input>
      <wsdl:output>
        <mime:multipartRelated>
          <mime:part name="body">
            <soap:body parts="text" use="literal" />
          </mime:part>
          <mime:part name="data">
            <mime:content part="data" type="application/octet-stream" />
          </mime:part>
        </mime:multipartRelated>
      </wsdl:output>
    </wsdl:operation>

Now the issue here seems to be that JAXB requires swaRef to read in an
attachment. On my incoming message I have this:

<text>Hello</text>
<data href="cid:....."/>

Is there any way to get JAXB to recognize that data is in fact an attachment
without reworking my schema?

Thanks,
- Dan
