JavaMail cannot detect charset/decode e-mail after JAX-WS Endpoint init

Question

There is the code (failed in Tomcat 6.0.20 / Jetty, JDK 1.6.0_18, JavaMail 1.4.3):

How JAX-WS can affect JavaMail e-mail decoding ?

Answer 1

Got the following from the JAX-WS team:
I think it is related to:
[https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=707|https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=707]
[https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=656|https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=656]
In short, JAX-WS was registering a DataContentHandler that doesn't honor charset for text/plain mime type. We fixed it by copying the same data content handler from JavaMail.
