Hi Sowmya,
You can store attachments using MDM Java API. You can use the following piece of code.
BinaryBlobRecord record2 = RecordFactory.createEmptyBinaryObjectRecord(tableID);
//Attachment to be saved
String filePath = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_Resource().getUrl(0);
IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_Resource();
FileInputStream stream = (FileInputStream)resource.read(true);
int length = 0;
while(stream.read() != -1)
     length++;
byte[] b = new byte[(int) length];
stream.read(b);
stream.close();
record.setName(new StringValue("filename"));
record.setOriginalName(new StringValue("filename"));
record.setHasOriginal(new BooleanValue(true);
RetrieveGroupTreeCommand groupTreeCommand = new    RetrieveGroupTreeCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
groupTreeCommand.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
groupTreeCommand.setGroupType(GroupTypes.DATA_GROUP_TYPE);
groupTreeCommand.execute();
//Set data location and data group ID
record.setDataLocationId(new GroupNodeId("GN2"));
record.setDataGroupId(new GroupNodeId("GN2"));
record.setBinary(new BinaryValue(b));
CreateRecordCommand createRecComm =
                         new CreateRecordCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
createRecComm.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
createRecComm.setRecord(record);
createRecComm.execute();
//Link this record to the main table record
Record QRec = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(mainTable);
//Setting the above created record in main table record object
QRec.setFieldValue(attachmentField, new LookupValue(record.getId()));
CreateRecordCommand createRecComm =
                    new CreateRecordCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
createRecComm.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
createRecComm.setRecord(QRec);
createRecComm.execute();
Now the main table record is created with an attachment.
Hope this helps you.
