DocuSign NO_DOCUMENT_RECEIVED - document

Question

I am following the Docusign guide to upload PDF for signing. I get the error message NO_DOCUMENT_RECEIVED. Can you guide me on what could be causing this ? I am using JDK 8/Win 7/64bit and IDE is Netbeans 7.0.0.1
TIA !
Ruben.

Rewrite the default initializeRequest for handling mutipart uploads so just before upload change the multipart value to true in all other cases such as login set it to false.
private static HttpURLConnection initializeRequest(String url, String method,
String body, String httpAuthHeader, Boolean multipart) {
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
try {
conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod(method);
conn.setRequestProperty("X-DocuSign-Authentication", httpAuthHeader);
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/xml");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
if (multipart) {
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=BOUNDARY");
} else {
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/xml");
if (method.equalsIgnoreCase("POST") || method.equalsIgnoreCase("PUT") || method.equalsIgnoreCase("DELETE")) {
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(body.length()));
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
dos.writeBytes(body);
dos.flush();
dos.close();
}
}
return conn;
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
