<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<soap:Envelope></soap:Envelope>
<soap:Body>

Note the Question marks in SOAP Body. in which Tag / Format i will be getting the Image?

and after getting the image what datatype of Java i should use to set it in a POJO?

The service response may contain a picture as base64 or an attachment outside the envelope. Example decoding base64:

public static BufferedImage decodeToImage(String imageString) {

    BufferedImage image = null;
    byte[] imageByte;
    try {
        BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
        imageByte = decoder.decodeBuffer(imageString);
        ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageByte);
        image = ImageIO.read(bis);
        bis.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return image;
}

JAVA already has an API for processing SOAP with attachments.

    SOAPMessage response = connection.call(requestMessage, serviceURL);
    Iterator attachmentsIterator = response.getAttachments();
    while (attachmentsIterator.hasNext()) {
        AttachmentPart attachment = (AttachmentPart) attachmentsIterator.next();
        //do something with attachment 
    }

I use base64binary for send document, jpg etc.

<soap:element name="jpg" type="xs:base64Binary" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
