Issue in Synchronous SOAP Communication channel

Question

hi Experts,
   I stuck in one scenario where my requirment is:--
At Receiver side SOAP adapter(which is Synchronous Communication) accepts data  as Attachment.
But the response mustn't be in form of attachment.
If i use Keep Attachment at SOAP receiver channel, I will get response in the form of Attachment which doesn't meet my requirment.
Is it possible to extract the data from attachment.
I used PayloadSwapBean Module at SOAP receiver side but still I am getting response as Attachment.
Please help me out.
Is there any other approch for my Requirment which is as follows:---
FTP--->SOAP request(as an Attachment) >SOAP response(Without Attachment)->FTP
Solutions will be awarded with points:)
Thanks,

Hi Jaydeep,
The other way is to develope the develope our own Module.
As you are using SOAP in sych ( you are using it as Receiver adapter Also we cant develope Modules for Sender SOAP adapter for that we have to look for AXIS SOAP adapter).
Here is module code that you can use for Module development.
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputData)
            throws ModuleException{  
           String str = "";
            Message mes = null;          
      //Fetch the Message Data from Module Data
            mes = (Message) inputData.getPrincipalData();        
            XMLPayload xmlpayload = mes.getDocument();           
            String xmlText = xmlpayload.getText();       
            String temp = "";
      // For Audit Log Fetch the Audit Message key from the message.
      amk = new AuditMessageKey(mes.getMessageId(), AuditDirection.OUTBOUND);
      Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,   AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS, "Excel to XML Module called");           
      try {      
            Iterator itr = mes.getAttachmentIterator();
//to iterate through all the attached messages.      
            Payload pay = null;          
            int i = xmlText.indexOf("<Content>");
            while(itr.hasNext()){
            pay = (Payload) itr.next();
          Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS, "Payload Description: " + pay.getContentType());
            if(pay.getContentType().indexOf("Excel-sheet") > 0)
//only to process excel type attachment
      temp = temp +  convert(pay.getContent()) ; //call the function that will convert the Excel data into xml formate                                
pay.setContent(new byte[0]); //set the attachment to zero because they are not required any more this will reduce system load
Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,   AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS, "Excel to XML Module DATA"+ temp);
            String payText = "";
            payText = xmlText.substring(0, i + 9)+ temp +xmlText.substring(xmlText.indexOf("</Content>"));   
            xmlpayload.setText(payText);
            mes.setDocument(xmlpayload);
inputData.setPrincipalData(mes);         
      } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
      Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,   AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS, "error caught " + e.getMessage());
      catch (Exception e1) {
                              e1.printStackTrace();
            return inputData;
I had written this code to convert the Excel Attachment(there could me many attachments) in the Mail to the XML .
