Creating iviews programatically - getting OperationFailedException

Question

Hi,
While creating a iViews programatically I am getting
OperationFailedException exception.
This is the piece of code which is throwing the exception
NewObjectDescriptor IVtoCreate = null ;
try
IVtoCreate = (NewObjectDescriptor) iViewSrv.instantiateDescriptor(CreateMethod.NEW,
"pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.km.iviews/com.sap.km.NewsBrowser" ,
request.getUser()); }
catch( ObjectNotFoundException ex)
ex.getMessage() ;
catch( OperationFailedException ex)
ex.getMessage();
I am using EP SP9. and
I want to create a iview from NewsBrowser.
I tried with NEW as well as DELTA_LINK way , still I am getting the same error.
can anyone please help on this
thanks

Hi,
  Check the code snippet below.
Object user = request.getUser();
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PcdInitialContextFactory");
env.put("java.naming.security.principal", user);
INewObjectDescriptor iDesc = null;
IiViews iSrv = (IiViews) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService("com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice.iViewsSrv");
try {
     Context iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
     Context iviewCtx = (Context) iCtx.lookup("portal_content/sample/iViews);
     iDesc =     (INewObjectDescriptor) iSrv.instantiateDescriptor(
          CreateMethod.DELTA_LINK, sampleiViewName ,
          (IPrincipal) user);
catch (NamingException ne) {
      //logger component statements
