Creating a Request via OIM 11g API

Question

I'm trying to create a request in OIM using the API. I found this post ( OIM 11g - Setting Process Form Data through Request API ) which has the code to do it but I'm getting an error:
Here is what I have
OIMClient client = getOIMClient(url, username, password);
      long resKey = 0L;
      String str = null;
      String resourceKey = null;
      Map<String, String> searchMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
      tcResultSet resultSet = null;
      RequestData requestData = null;
      Beneficiary beneficiary = null;
      RequestBeneficiaryEntity entity = null;
      List<Beneficiary> beneficiaryList = new ArrayList<Beneficiary>();
      List<RequestBeneficiaryEntity> entityList = null;
      List<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute> entityAttrList = null;
      String RESOURCE = "TESTRESOURCE_GTC";
      tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf operations = client.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
      Map<String, String> conditions = new HashMap<String, String>();
      conditions.put("IT Resources.Name", "TESTRESOURCE_GTC");
      resultSet = operations.findITResourceInstances(conditions);           
      resKey = resultSet.getLongValue("IT Resource.Key");
      resourceKey = Long.toString(resKey);
      RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute parantAttr = new RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute();
      parantAttr.setType(TYPE.String);
      parantAttr.setName("Title");
      parantAttr.setValue("Mr.");
      entityAttrList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute>();
      entityAttrList.add(parantAttr);
      entity = new RequestBeneficiaryEntity();
      entity.setEntityKey(resourceKey);
      entity.setEntityType(RequestConstants.RESOURCE);
      entity.setEntitySubType(RESOURCE);
      entity.setEntityData(entityAttrList);
      entityList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntity>();
      entityList.add(entity);
      System.out.println("*********** USR KEY" + usrKey);
      beneficiary = new Beneficiary();
      beneficiary.setBeneficiaryType(Beneficiary.USER_BENEFICIARY);
      beneficiary.setBeneficiaryKey(usrKey);
      beneficiary.setTargetEntities(entityList);
      beneficiaryList.add(beneficiary);
      requestData = new RequestData();
      requestData.setRequestTemplateName("Self-Request Resource");
      requestData.setJustification("Test");
      requestData.setBeneficiaries(beneficiaryList);
      UnauthenticatedRequestService reqsrvc = client.getService(UnauthenticatedRequestService.class);
      str = reqsrvc.submitRequest(requestData);
      System.out.println("Value from submitRequest : '" + (str != null ? str : null) + "'");I'm getting
<Feb 14, 2012 4:53:24 PM EST> <Error> <oracle.iam.request.impl> <IAM-2050128> <Invalid beneficiary key was specified for Self-Request. >
oracle.iam.request.exception.InvalidRequestDataException: IAM-2050128:Invalid beneficiary key was specified for Self-Request.
I can see that USER KEY is getting populated.

Answer 1

While creating a request to provision iPlanet User one of the errors I was getting:
oracle.iam.request.exception.RequestServiceException: IAM-2050061:Type mismatch for the attribute Server. The type passed is String, but the corresponding type in the data set is Long.:Server:String:Long
So I replaced the value of the attribute Server to the IT Resource.Key which is 5. After making the changes, it goes through approvals with no problems, but when I approve all the work items, it errors out with an error:
Error occurred while provisioning resource with key 45 to user 5
User Key is 45 and Resource Key is 5. I'm not sure why it swapped it.
Here is the code I'm using:
public static void createRequest(String userLogin, String templateName, String resourceName, HashMap<String, Object> attrs, OIMClient client) {
    try {
      String usrKey = searchUserByLogin(userLogin, client).get(0).getId();
      long resKey = 0L;
      String str = null;
      String resourceKey = null;
      Map<String, String> searchMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
      tcResultSet resultSet = null;
      RequestData requestData = null;
      Beneficiary beneficiary = null;
      RequestBeneficiaryEntity entity = null;
      List<Beneficiary> beneficiaryList = new ArrayList<Beneficiary>();
      List<RequestBeneficiaryEntity> entityList = null;
      List<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute> entityAttrList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute>();
      tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf operations = client == null ? Platform.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class) : client.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
      Map<String, String> conditions = new HashMap<String, String>();
      conditions.put("IT Resources.Name", resourceName);
      resultSet = operations.findITResourceInstances(conditions);
      resKey = resultSet.getLongValue("IT Resource.Key");
      resourceKey = Long.toString(resKey);
      for (String attr : attrs.keySet()) {
        RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute parantAttr = new RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute();
        if (attrs.get(attr) instanceof String) {
          parantAttr.setType(TYPE.String);
          parantAttr.setName(attr);
          parantAttr.setValue(String.valueOf(attrs.get(attr)));
          entityAttrList.add(parantAttr);
        } else if (attrs.get(attr) instanceof Long) {
          parantAttr.setType(TYPE.Long);
          parantAttr.setName(attr);
          parantAttr.setValue(String.valueOf(attrs.get(attr)));
          entityAttrList.add(parantAttr);
        } else {
          // do nothing
      entity = new RequestBeneficiaryEntity();
      entity.setEntityKey(resourceKey);
      entity.setEntityType(RequestConstants.RESOURCE);
      entity.setEntitySubType(resourceName);
      entity.setEntityData(entityAttrList);
      entityList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntity>();
      entityList.add(entity);
      beneficiary = new Beneficiary();
      beneficiary.setBeneficiaryType(Beneficiary.USER_BENEFICIARY);
      beneficiary.setBeneficiaryKey(usrKey);
      beneficiary.setTargetEntities(entityList);
      beneficiaryList.add(beneficiary);
      requestData = new RequestData();
      requestData.setRequestTemplateName(templateName);
      requestData.setJustification("Test");
      requestData.setBeneficiaries(beneficiaryList);
      System.out.println("Resource Keys " + resKey + " " + resourceKey);
      System.out.println("User Key " + usrKey);
      RequestService reqsrvc = client == null ? Platform.getService(RequestService.class) : client.getService(RequestService.class);
      str = reqsrvc.submitRequest(requestData);
      System.out.println("Value from submitRequest : '" + (str != null ? str : null) + "'");
    } catch (Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
