Hi,

after many tests we have located the problem:
MediaType of the "filedata" field on the form was wrong. This field must be of type MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE:

<java>
FormDataMultiPart FormDataMultiPart form = new ();
form.field ("username", userName);
form.field ("filename", "test.png");
form.bodyPart (new FileDataBodyPart ("filedata" file, MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE));
client.resource = WebResource (urlResourceAlfresco);
ClientResponse responseAvatar = webResource.type (MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA) .post (ClientResponse.class, form);
</java>

Thumbnail is automatically created when you call to get that image:

…/alfresco/api/service/node/workspace/SpacesStore/39409759-65b9-49bd-a8b3-37fcbe3b6dc7/content/thumbnails/avatar?c=force

Solved.
