any on highly appreciate

thanks, mohan

finally found answer...

here following line in above code contains content type "multipart/related". web service expected content type "application/soap+xml" since soap request. please refer w3schools tutorial further information

httpentity lentity = new stringentity(lxml, "multipart/related", "utf-8");
