Setting MTOM-enabled property dynamically in Apache CXF - web-services

Question

I'm developing SOAP web service using Apache CXF framework. My web-method returns either binary data or plain XML depending on request parameters. Most of requests return binary data, so I configured CXF to use MTOM in service responses.
But this is not always useful: when XML is returned, caller side expects to get plain text/xml document rather than multipart one. So I'd like my web service to dynamically change its binding.
CXF documentation has following example:
Endpoint ep = ...; // example does not explain how to get it
SOAPBinding binding = (SOAPBinding)ep.getBinding();
binding.setMTOMEnabled(true); // or false
Question: how can I get Endpoint instance?
I'm using Spring annotation #Endpoint for web-service and #PayloadRoot for web-method.

You can use the following code if you are using on server,
you need to add import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
HelloWorldImpl implementor = new HelloWorldImpl();
String address = "http://localhost:9000/helloWorld";
Endpoint.publish(address, implementor);
From client side
TestMtomService tms = new TestMtomService(wsdlURL, SERVICE_NAME);
TestMtomPortType port = (TestMtomPortType)tms.getPort(PORT_NAME,TestMtomPortType.class);
Binding binding = ((BindingProvider)port).getBinding();
((SOAPBinding)binding).setMTOMEnabled(true);

I created my own marshalled class extended from org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller. Only single method is overriden:
public class Marshaller extends Jaxb2Marshaller {
#Override
public void marshal(Object graph, Result result, MimeContainer mimeContainer) throws XmlMappingException {
if ( disableMtom() ) {
super.marshal(graph, result, null);
} else {
super.marshal(graph, result, mimeContainer);
}
}
private boolean disableMtom() {
return ... // depends on response context
}
}
The disableMtom detects if MTOM is disabled from response context. Web service endpoint takes care to pass this context to marshaller somehow.
By default MTOM is enabled.
