Description

I'm trying to disable MTOM through cxf-servlet.xml for one of the endpoints, but it has any effect to working Service.

We have created Service with one void method annotated with WebMethod and two wrappers RequestWrapper and ResponseWrapper and RequestWrapper.
Mentioned method has four attributes. Two first attributes are wrapped by ReuestWrapper and they are of type byte array and string, and next two are out-attributes and they are wrapped by are ResponseWrapper.

Everyting works fine until I get response, becasue in response wrapper class, I have field of byte array (mentioned earlier). Which is automatically converted to XOP.
This is very undesirable behavior in my business case (because of backward compatibility). I was trying to disable it using configuration file and <entry key="mtom-enabled" value="false" />.

Which didn't change anything in runtime.

Annotation @MTOM( enabled = false, threshold = 2048 ) did the thing, but it would be better if I could do the same from the configuration file level.
