Hi
I have written the following plane java class for uploading the content into Alfresco repo.


             /**
    * Main function
    */
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Content content =null;
      try {
         // Start the session
         AuthenticationUtils.startSession(USERNAME, PASSWORD);

         File file = new File("D:/Solutions and Web Services.doc");
         String fileName = file.getName();
         // Open the file and convert to byte
         InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
         byte[] contentBytes = ContentUtils.convertToByteArray(is);
         String contentFormat = MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_TEXT_PLAIN;
         if (file.getName().contains(".doc")) {
            contentFormat = MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_WORD;
         } else {
            contentFormat = MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_EXCEL;
         }
         WebContentService webContentService = new WebContentService();
         content = webContentService.createNewContent(fileName, contentBytes, contentFormat);
         System.out.println("Content URL:-"+content.getUrl());
      } catch (ContentFault e) {
         System.out.println("Content Fault" + e.getMessage1());
      } catch (RepositoryFault e) {
         System.out.println("RepositoryFault" + e.getMessage1());
      } catch (RemoteException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
         // End the session
         AuthenticationUtils.endSession();
      }
   }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And following is the my service class method for uploading or writting the content


public Content createNewContent(String name,byte[] contentBytes, String contentFormat) throws Exception {
      //Get the content service
      ContentServiceSoapBindingStub contentService = WebServiceFactory.getContentService();
      
      // Create a parent reference, this contains information about the
      // association we are createing to the new content and the
      // parent of the new content (the space retrived from the search)
      ParentReference parentReference = new ParentReference(STORE, null, "/app:company_home/cm:sample_folder",
            ASSOC_CONTAINS, ASSOC_CONTAINS);

      // Define the content format for the content we are adding
      ContentFormat format = new ContentFormat(contentFormat, "UTF-8");
      
      NamedValue[] properties = new NamedValue[] { Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, System.currentTimeMillis()+name) };
      CMLCreate create = new CMLCreate("1", parentReference, null, null, null, Constants.TYPE_CONTENT, properties);
      CML cml = new CML();
      cml.setCreate(new CMLCreate[] { create });
      UpdateResult[] result = WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService().update(cml);

      Reference newContentNode = result[0].getDestination();
      Content content = contentService.write(newContentNode, Constants.PROP_CONTENT, contentBytes, format);
         // Get a reference to the newly created content
      return content;
   }

You can try to change contentBytes and contentFormat in this way (example with pdf file format):


private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "application/pdf";
private static final String CONTENT_FORMAT = "UTF-8";
…..
…..
byte[] contentBytes = new byte[(int)length];
ContentFormat format = new ContentFormat(CONTENT_TYPE, CONTENT_FORMAT);
WebServiceFactory.getContentService().write(results[0].getDestination(), Constants.PROP_CONTENT, contentBytes, contentFormat);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps.
