Can not browse catalog when triying to create a discount in workshop 8.1

Question

Hi,
I am using weblogic portal 8.1 and triying to create a discount. I followed the
instructions that are found in workshop help named as "using commerce" and "creating
discounts".
I have installed commerce services and commerce taglibs. I tried to create a discount
but when I try to use wizard to configure my discount I can not browse catolog.
I click on "wizard" and select "simple discount" from the appeared window but
then I can not browse the porduct that the discount will be applied to.

Before I forget, make sure the server is running and that your
application deployed correctly (look in the console
http://locahost:7001/console). Verify that the toolSupport.war module's
context-path is <appname>Tool, where <appname> is the name of your
application (e.g. portalAppTool). Verify that you can access the URL
http://<hostname>:<port>/<appname>Tool/CatalogWS, where <hostname> is
the name of the machine the server is running on (probably localhost),
<port> is the port WLS is listening to (probably 7001). So, for
sampleportal, you would use
http://localhost:7001/portalAppTool/CatalogWS. Use your server's admin
username/password (e.g. weblogic/weblogic for samples/domains/portal).
You should get a webservice test page. That's the URL that workshop
tries to access to get catalog information; so, if you can't access it,
workshop can't either.
If that works, I actually need output from running workshop. It looks
like that might not actually go to bea/weblogic81/workshop/workshop.log.
If you're on windows, can you temporarily modify
bea/weblogic81/workshop/Workshop.cfg so that the second line, which
should look like:
C:\bea\jdk141_03\jre\bin\javaw.exe
uses java.exe instead, as in:
C:\bea\jdk141_03\jre\bin\java.exe
On Unix/Linux, modify Workshop.sh so that it doesn't redirect output to
/dev/null.
Then, in bea/weblogic81/workshop, create a file called debug.properties
that looks like:
usePackageNames: true
com.bea.portal.ide.rules.server: on
Then, run Workshop.exe/Workshop.sh. A command window should appear with
some output like:
DEBUG: extensions=C:\bea\weblogic81\workshop\extensions
INFO: Registering extension com.bea.portal.ide.CommonServices
INFO: Service com.bea.portal.ide.findrefs.FindRefsSvc registered
INFO: Handler for urn:com-bea-portal-ide:ref-finders registered
In Workshop, try to open the catalog browser from the discount. You
should get a bunch of output in the command window. Send that here.

Birce -
Do you get an error dialog, or does the catalog browser open without
anything in it?
If you get an error dialog, can you attach your workshop.log file? It
should contain an error message and possibly a stacktrace about the
catalog browser.
