Getting WCMException while configuring a repository service

Question

Hi KM Experts,
I wrote a program to create a repository service, to start the approval process automatically, and select it for the required repository manager. I restarted the servlet engine, but still the status of newly added document is 'In Progress' and when I tried to submit it manually its throwing the following exception -
Could not execute command 'com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIStatemanagementCommand'
Below is the program written by me -
package com.infy.autoapprove;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceFactory;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.AbstractRepositoryService;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.IRepositoryServiceFactory;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.ServiceNotAvailableException;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.statemanagement.IResourceTransition;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.statemanagement.IStatemanagementManager;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.statemanagement.IStatemanagementResource;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.IResourceEventReceiver;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.IRepositoryManager;
import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.ResourceEvent;
import com.sapportals.wcm.util.events.IEvent;
import com.sapportals.wcm.crt.component.*;
import com.sapportals.wcm.crt.configuration.*;
import com.sapportals.wcm.IWcmConst;
import com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException;
import java.util.Collection;
// implements IMyNewRepositoryService interface
  Note: IReconfigurable and IResourceEventReceiver interfaces are optional
public class AutoApprove extends AbstractRepositoryService implements IReconfigurable, IResourceEventReceiver {
  private static final String TYPE = "AutoApprove";
  public AutoApprove() {
    super();
    // Do not add code here. Add it to startUpImpl() instead
  public String getServiceType() {
    return AutoApprove.TYPE;
  protected void startUpImpl(Collection repositoryManagers) throws ConfigurationException, StartupException {
    // implement this method as follows:
    // - Verify configuration data
    // - Get references to other needed (global) services
    // - Check whether other repository services (this service depends on) are also assigned to the repository managers
    // - Usually the service registers itself for certain events at all repository managers
    try  {
    catch (Exception e) {
      throw new StartupException(e.getMessage(), e);
  protected void shutDownImpl() { }
  protected void addRepositoryAssignment(IRepositoryManager mgr) throws ServiceNotAvailableException {
    // Implement this method: Usually the service registers itself for certain events at the repository manager.
     try
           mgr.getEventBroker().register(this, new ResourceEvent(ResourceEvent.CREATE_CHILD, null));
     catch(WcmException e)
  protected void removeRepositoryAssignment(IRepositoryManager mgr) throws WcmException {
    // Implement this method: Usually the service must unregister itself as an event handler.
  public void reconfigure(IConfiguration config) throws ConfigurationException {
    this.stateHandler.preReconfigure();
    // check the new configuration data
    try {
    catch (ConfigurationException ex) {
      this.stateHandler.postReconfigure(ex);
      throw ex;
    this.config = config;
    this.stateHandler.postReconfigure();
  public void received(IEvent event) {
               IResource resource = (IResource)event.getParameter();
               try
                  //     get the statemanagement service from the resource
                  String rid = resource.getRID().toString();
                  if(rid.equals("/documents/TestScenario/XML Form Content/"+resource.getName()))
                       IRepositoryServiceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory();
                        IStatemanagementManager statemanagement = (IStatemanagementManager)factory.getRepositoryService(resource, IWcmConst.STATEMANAGEMENT_SERVICE);
                        IStatemanagementResource sResource = statemanagement.getStatemangementResource(resource);
                        IResourceTransition transition = sResource.getTransition("lbl.submit");
                       //  if everything is correct than transition is not null
                       if (transition != null)
                                 transition.execute();
               }catch(Exception e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
Kindly help me out as I am not able to figure out the issue.
Thanks in Advance,
