JSR 168 portlet based web service throwing an error ......

Question

Hi All,
I am quite new to this whole new fusion concept.We are trying to build some web center based applications.
I have downloaded jdev11g(Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.0)technolgy preview version and started following the pdf documentation that comes with it to build the web center based applications.
As given in the docummentation i have built a JSR 168 Java Portlet through the wizard in Jdeveloper.
2:Created a java bean to store the portlet information,added some business logic to the portlet.
3:Deployed the portlet application in the preconfigured OC4J that is shipped with the jdeveloper.
4:When i test the webservice from within the http analyzer in jdeveloper by invoking the web service i get a response like this:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><env:Header/><env:Body><env:Fault>
<faultcode>env:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>no serializer is registered for (interface javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement, {urn:oasis:names:tc:wsrp:v2:types}getPortletPropertyDescriptionResponse)</faultstring><faultactor/></env:Fault></env:Body></env:Envelope>
5:If i then try to register the WSRP Portlet producer to my deployed application i get the the 500 status error which states that it cannot register the portlet as it could not connect to the host because the application is not deployed correctly or the producer container is not running or that the host is beyond a firewall.
It cannot be that it cannot connect to the host because of firewall ,the pre configured oc4j is also running which leaves the option of the application not being deployed correctly in the server.!!
While i try to register the portlet the preconfigured oc4j log displays the error in point 4:
Any help would be great as i have no clue what went wrong in the deployment because everything is so wizard driven...
Looking for some urgent help...as we are in the process of building prototypes for the customer!!!

Hi user,
I think it best not to use the 11g preview versions anymore. To build WebCenter applications, you should use the last 10g version, which is 10.1.3.4. 11g Production has superseded the preview versions, and in that there is no webcenter support, as everything is now migrated towards weblogic.
So please try to follow your tutorial in 10g.
