I used this utl_http example:
declare
soap_request varchar2(30000);
soap_respond varchar2(30000);
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
launch_url varchar2(240) ;
begin
soap_request:='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/testtask">
<ns1:testtaskProcessRequest><ns1:input>leeg</ns1:input></ns1:testtaskProcessRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
http_req:= utl_http.begin_request('http://yourhostname/orabpel/default/testtask/1.0'
,'POST',
'HTTP/1.1'
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml') ;
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Length', length(soap_request)) ;
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'SOAPAction', 'initiate');
utl_http.write_text(http_req, soap_request) ;
http_resp:= utl_http.get_response(http_req) ;
utl_http.read_text(http_resp, soap_respond) ;
utl_http.end_response(http_resp) ;
dbms_output.put_line(soap_respond);
end;
