Symptoms

The requirement is to write a Business Service in eScript, which reads a file and calls a Outbound Web Service.
The file itself is transferred by the Web Service using a byte array.
After importing the WDSL using the EAI Wizard, the byte array gets mapped to a string.
Therefore the file data must be base64 encoded and the resulting string used as a parameter for the Web Service.

The result is not what is expected, because the value of the property set is embedded in other xml-tags.
