Creating pages,item WITH approval.

Question

Hi,
I found out how to create a page and add an item to that page automatically. But now I need to find out how to use this with approval.
1) I noticed that approval only exists on the item level and not the page level. Is this correct?
2) How can I make that the page/item I create automatically, has to be approved? The approval will be done in a normal way, through the existing approval portlet. Normally one should enable approval control on the page, create a user and give this user the 'manage items with approval' rights, all items published by this user, will not be published before approval.
Can someone provide an example, on how to mark an item for approval programmatically?
The function add_item contains a parameter 'p_author - Author of the item.'. Can this be used, as I enable the author to 'manage items with approval'?
Cheers
B.

Even If I bypass the public user problem and do the following:
-- create new page
    l_new_page_id := wwsbr_api.add_folder(  p_caid             => l_caid,
                                            p_name             => l_uppertext,
                                            p_display_name     => l_text,
                                            p_type_id          => wwsbr_api.FOLDER_TYPE_CONTAINER,
                                            p_type_caid        => wwsbr_api.SHARED_OBJECTS
    -- Process cache invalidation messages.
    wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation;
    portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context( p_user_name => 'NEEDAPP', p_password => 'dummy');
    -- create new item
    l_text_item := 'This is a new item on the new page';
    l_new_item_master_id := wwsbr_api.add_item( p_caid              =>  l_caid,
                                                p_folder_id         => l_new_page_id,
                                                p_display_name      => 'This is the display name',
                                                p_type_id           => wwsbr_api.ITEM_TYPE_TEXT,
                                                p_type_caid         => wwsbr_api.SHARED_OBJECTS,
                                                p_region_id         => 0,
                                                p_text              => l_text_item
    -- Process cache invalidation messages.
    wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation;
    wwctx_api.clear_context;
    owa_util.redirect_url(curl => l_back_url || '&' || l_reference_path || '.p_text=' || l_text);So, I change the context in my code to make sure that the item is created by the user NEEDAPP. This works, the page is created first (by the user who invoked the portlet) and an item is placed on the page. I can even see the item showing up in my 'PENDING ITEMS LIST' for approval.
BUT
After the procedure I am NOT redirected to the page where I submitted the form bu instead I get an error:
Fout: De listener heeft het volgende bericht geretourneerd: 503 Service Unavailable
What is the problem?
