Content type mismatch when consuming java wsdl from .net

Question

There is a wsdl hosted on apache or jboss on a remote server that I am trying to use in my c# project. I have added a service reference in visual studio, which automatically generated an app.config file for me, where the system.serviceModel section looks as follows

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding name="ArtesiaWebServicesHttpBinding" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
                openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                maxBufferSize="655360" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="655360"
                messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
                useDefaultWebProxy="true">
                <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
                    maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
                <security mode="None">
                    <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
                        realm="" />
                    <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
                </security>
            </binding>
        </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="http://serverpath/ArtesiaWebServices"
            binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ArtesiaWebServicesHttpBinding"
            contract="DAMService.ArtesiaWebServicesInterface" name="ArtesiaWebServicesHttpPort" />
    </client>
</system.serviceModel>

At runtime, during a method call, I get the following error:

The content type multipart/related; type="application/xop+xml"; start=""; start-info="text/xml"; boundary="----=_Part_386_1206794365.1374255761229" of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly.

What could be the problem?

The problem was solved by changing messageEncoding property of the binding to "Mtom" instead of "Text"
