Hi Do you have any sample request for what works ? I dont think you should be using Send File (unless that is what your service expects). Typically the XML should be sent as part of body of a POST or PUT. In which case you need to specify the XML as the value field in Send Parameter with request . Now if you only have a File , then you probably will need to write some java code(Beanshell/BSF) to read it and set it into a variable. For now just to test you should just copy the XML as a String into the value field (you can leave name empty if your service does not need a name) and see if that works . regards deepak
