Help regarding Actionable Email in SOA Suite 11g

Question

Hi,
I am working on a requirement wherein there are 2 approver's in a serial flow. These 2 approver's need to approve or reject the payload by accessing their emails instead of going to the BPM Worklist.
My problem is that the 1st approver gets the payload in this inbox,but when he clicks on approve button, the reply to window opens with the 2nd approver's address alongwith comments,attachments and nid string in the body.The 2nd approver gets this and not the payload with the approve reject button. To test if the bpel process completes, the 2nd approver replies to the initiator. But the bpel does not complete. It shows running in the flow trace.
Only when these approver's approve or reject in BPM worklist, the process gets completed, which shouldnt be the case.
In SOA 10g,this works fine when ns_email.xml is properly configured. But ns_email.xml file isnt found in 11g.
Can anyone please help me solve this issue???

I haven't done it in 11g but I'm sure it is the same.
you need to import the java classes. to do this add the following to you .bpel source code
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.lang.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.math.*"/>
place it between the lines:
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<!--
PARTNERLINKS
e.g.
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.lang.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.math.*"/>

Also from memory the System.out.println never worked for me, or it printed in the logs which wasn't helpful. What you can do is assign it to another variable, e.g.
String input = (String)getVariableData("InputSring");
setVariableData("OutputSring",input);
OutputString is my variable defined in BPEL.
