Thanks Robert, but it doesn't work: it doesn't seem to be a matter of
encoding, it seems to be a matter of type conversion. Infact, if a try
to encode it like x = Base64.encode("abc") I get again:
Bad types (class java.lang.String -> class [B)

Please also note that starting from the WSDL it works perfectly passing
a plain simple string. I really don't understand.
