Springws and MTOM client KO when pass through a balancer

Question

I have a problem with a client that sends a pdf binary document with MTOM enabled to a soapservice. The service is correctly exposed and served. When i call the endpoint of the server that expose the service all goes ok, when i call the same service through a "service gateway" it sends back a "bad request" after it receive all the request.

The same service gateway is a passthrough of all other services without mtom and all goes ok. The weird thing is that when i call with soapui with attachment and MTOM enabled through the service gateway the call ends correctly. This is the core of the code:

response = (JAXBElement<CreateDocumentsResponseType>) wst.marshalSendAndReceive(uri,request);

1. Where wst is a normal WebServiceTemplate instance with MTOM enabled
2. request is the envelope marshalled with the document already packed with datahandler.

Before send the message, i made an interceptor to set the request header with custom authentication.

The balancer made a "preflight" that the webservicetemplate don't treat correctly. Created custom interceptor to handle this.
