Eclipse+SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 Issues configuring Oracle AS in eclipse

Question

I have searched all the forums and google but could not find much information.
I have installade soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1 and configured SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 whcih works perfectly fine with oracle JDeveloper. Since our developement platform is eclipse and not jDeveloper I am trying to see if I can configure eclipse to work with Oracle AS.
1. Installed eclipse europa and installed WTP for eclipse.
2. Created a j2ee project and trying to deploy on Oracle AS which I have created as part of SOA Suite ( Please see above).
3. Trying to create a server instance from eclipse and deploy my application for testing with in eclipse.
4. Issues:
I have created the server instance with the following:
New>server>define a new server
server's host name:localhost
Server runtime: <drive>:/product/10.1.3.1/oracleas/j2ee/home
for Oracle OC4J Standalone 10.1.3.1
user:oc4jadmin
password: weclome ( tried welcome1 which I have been using for OC4J thru JDeveloper)
ADMIN port =23791 ( default), tried 6003 ( OPMN port which I was using with OC4J thru JDEV), tried RMI port value 12401
HTTP Port:8888
web site: default-web-site
I could create the server instance and start it. Not sure if it is really starting and running.
When I try to deploy my application I am getting the following error:
Buildfile: C:\Dev-Apps\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.oc4j_1.5.105.v200709061325\buildfiles\oracle.10.1.3.xml

when I try to stop the instance I am encountering the following problems
Error: Could not connect to the remote server. Please check if the server is down or the client is using invalid host, ORMI port or password to connect: Connection refused: connect
Before I give up and proceed with my time tested tomcat server, I would like to check with the folks on this forum to see if they can help.
Thanks in advance

Chandra,
I am having the same problem with the same versions. I don't think I can move to a different AS to solve the problem.
I've searched a number of other threads in and out of Oracle for solutions. There seem to be a lot of different solutions for similar problems, but nothing that really solves this one.
If I find a solution, I'll post back here. I hope you will do the same or if some kind soul has solved it, she/he will post it.
