    Finally,, with the help of someone in my IT who knows SOAPUI i changed my request and now it works succesfully : 

     

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:wf="http://wf.soap.bdocinteractive.bdoc.com" xmlns:x-="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Hi JHunt.

 

Yes I saw that post and I attached my files with a CID tag as you can see in my post written in red in soapenv.

 

The problem is that the binary file with this method seems to be transfered as a string and my Web Service is waiting an array of bytes.

I suppose it's the reason why I get in the SoapUI answer this message : java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to [B.

 

I don't see how to set the binary content as an array of bytes or perharps I wrongly read the article you sent in your post.

 

Thanks for any help.
