MTOM (cache) server example availability

Forgive my possible intrusion.  

I am not currently involved (yet) in any Intersystems deployment and/or development.
However I was triggered by an piece of (Intersystems) documentation residing under the Intersystems website discussing options  regarding 
Using MTOM for Attachments.  (https://cedocs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?K...
)
I this article there is the following sentence: 

By default, a Caché web service behaves as follows:
  • If it receives a request in an MTOM package, the web service sends the response as an MTOM package.
    Also, the IsMTOM property of the web service instance is set to 1.
  • If it receives a request not in an MTOM package, the web service sends the response not in an MTOM package.
I would be very interested in an example server(service)  implementation  in fact a sort of helloworld but with a single base64binary field which I can invoke (soapui) supplying either a MTOM attachement or a base64 encode string. 
A standalone server just echoing what is received is fine and would prove what I have been arguing for a long time .
Hopefully it is feasible including any required software (trial versions are fine).
I run both win 10 and ubuntu 18.04  
Please make my day
 
Thanks

Hi Peter,

A very simple example:

/// Wrapper object
Class br.cjs.MtomObject Extends (%RegisteredObject, %XML.Adaptor)
{ 
Property BinaryData As %GlobalBinaryStream; 

/// Create a instance of br.cjs.MtomObject and populate the property BinaryData with th SVG logo of InterSystems Developer Community
ClassMethod GetLogo() As br.cjs.MtomObject
{
#Dim mtom As br.cjs.MtomObject = ##Class(br.cjs.MtomObject).%New()
#Dim logo As %Stream.TmpBinary = ##Class(%Stream.TmpBinary).%New()

Hi Christiano,  

   thanks very much for your input at this stage. 
As I indicated I more or less stumbled across this developer community because cache seems to address a debate we are having for quite some time.   So I am not aware of the details regarding this technology. So I have some questions
1. What do I need (software stack) to be able to run the server code you supplied and use SoapUI as a test client against it?

2. The current example seems to have a basically empty request and get an MTOM response back
Aside from actually coding stuff do you see any  fundamental barriers against having a server implementation that - when you send it MTOM it replies with MTOM and when you send it base64 encoded string it also responds with a encoded string (all within one single service/endpoint)?
