Invalid endpoint URL

Question

Hello all,
I am developing a portlet that uses EDK 5.1 (.NET). In the Page_Load event handler, I have the following two lines of code:
Plumtree.Remote.Portlet.IPortletContext myPortletContext = Plumtree.Remote.Portlet.PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(this.Request, this.Response);
Plumtree.Remote.PRC.IRemoteSession myRemoteSession = myPortletContext.GetRemotePortalSession();
Unfortunately, the second line of code throws an exception that I am not able to know its reason. Here is the exception message:
[HttpException(0x80004005): Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.] Plumtree.Remote.Portlet.PortletContextWrapper.GetRemotePortalSession()in e:\buildroot\Release\devkit\5.0.x\portlet\src\dotnet\Plumtree\Remote\Portlet\PortletContextWrapper.cs:55 CommunityFolders.FoldersDisplay.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) +2008 System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +67 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +35 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +98 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +98 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +744
From the EDK documentation, I recognized that this exception is thrown when "the endpoint URL is not valid", however, I couldn't know how to fix it. Is the endpoint URL stored in the database, or is it in a configuration file?
Would anyone please help me with this?
Thanks.

Have you tried using TCPTrace or some other intermediate HTTP/SOAP interception tool that will let you watch the body of the request? I'd give that a go first just so you can peek inside and see what the EDK is trying to hit.
