If I understand well, you would like to convert from an xs:base64Binary type (as generated by OXF in the upload) to a text type (e.g. xs:string)? This is not possible in OXF right now, but I definitely understand how it would make sense if the document that was initially encoded was a text document. With the current version, you will have to use a workaround, such as writing your own processor. I added an entry to track this RFE:

I think the Delegation processor it its current state will not support document-based Web services, since we mandate an operation. This could also be fixed in the relatively short term. Let us know how crucial this is for you. I added an entry to track this RFE as well:
