Federated Search Error - Hello World Sample

Question

Hello,
I am trying to setup a Federated Search using the example HelloWorldSearch.war (java version). I am relatively new to the Portal Technology, but have extensive experience in web app development.
I am getting an error when I try to run my Federated Search. "Error - Error executing search on Test Federated Search : Federated search of federated portal object 200 could not be executed. The federated portal may be configured incorrectly." Any Ideas?
I have created 3 Portal Objects:
1) Remote Server - this points to my Tomcat instance - http://msc_tesposito1:8080/
2) Search Web Service - which points to app/service. I have specified "HelloWorldSearch/services/SearchProviderSoapBinding" and linked it to my Remote Server Instance.
3) Federated Search - linked this to my Search Web Service.
I then took the HelloWorldSearch-Java.war file from the samples provided, renamed it to HelloWorldSearch.war and dropped it in my Tomcat webapps directory. I can hit the web service just fine by executing "http://msc_tesposito1:8080/HelloWorldSearch/services/SearchProviderSoapBinding".
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be able to do to get this working?

It works fine on my local tomcat. All this search returns is - "Place holder" string, it's harcoded there.
It seems you have registered exemple by manual. Try use migration tool - ...\plumtree\ptportal\5.0\bin\native\ptmigration.bat
As soon as migration(import) is done all you need to do is change url to your actual remote server
