Error while using Email Activity

Question

Env:
Win XP SP2
SOA Dev Preview 10.1.3.1
Jdev
Prob: Am trying to send an email notification to my email id. I create a new BPEL Synchronous process and drag and drop the email activity into the process. I set the details into "to", "subject" and "body" parameters.
And then I try to deploy the process.
It throws an error "URI is not hierarchical"
Can some one let me know the reasons for it.
Thanx
AJ

Answer 1

Thanx Clemens,
The xml that you had mentioned is same as the one I am working with. When I double click on the error in the error panel displayed in JDev, the cursor moves to the first line in the bpel file which says "<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>".
I am still unclear as to what is the issue with the code that I am using. Following is my bpel file. Also, please let me know if there are any libraries or jar files to be included for using email activity in the bpel process.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>
