MapViewer API: addMapCacheTheme creates unexpected XML request string

Question

Hi,
I try to get a map with map cache theme on it. But MapViewer class generates an xml request string in which an unexpected wfs theme
exists. So I'm unable to add a map cache theme since the wfs theme causes a problem and i only get an image painted with background
color...
my java code is as follows:
               String viewerUrl = "http://localhost:8888/mapviewer/omserver";
               String dataSource = "ADATASOURCE";
               String mapCache= "AMAPCACHE";
               MapViewer viewer = new MapViewer(viewerUrl);
               viewer.setDataSourceName(dataSource);
               viewer.setImageFormat(MapViewer.FORMAT_PNG_URL);
               viewer.setMapRequestSRID(8307);
               viewer.setAntiAliasing(false);
               viewer.setMapTitle(null);
               viewer.setBackgroundColor(new Color(0xA6CAF0));
               viewer.setBackgroundImageURL(null);
               viewer.setDeviceSize(new Dimension(480, 480));
               //viewer.setBaseMapName(baseMap);
               viewer.addMapCacheTheme(mapCache, dataSource, mapCache, true);
               viewer.setCenter(29, 41);
               viewer.setSize(1);
               //For debugging issues
               String req = viewer.getMapRequestString();
               viewer.run();
value for req variable is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_request
datasource="ADATASOURCE"
srid="8307"
width="480"
height="480"
bgcolor="#a6caf0"
antialiase="false"
format="PNG_URL"
>
<center size="1.0">
<geoFeature>
<geometricProperty typeName="center">
<Point>
<coordinates>29.0,41.0</coordinates>
</Point>
</geometricProperty>
</geoFeature>
</center>
<themes>
<theme name="AMAPCACHE" datasource="ADATASOURCE">
<map_cache_theme map_cache_name="AMAPCACHE" snap_to_cache_scale="true"/> </theme> <theme name="AMAPCACHE" >
<wfs_feature_request
datasource="ADATASOURCE"
/>
</theme>
</themes>
</map_request>
The first theme is the one that i wanted to add.
The second one (bold) is the one that causes trouble. I don't know where it comes from.
This problem occured when i started to use mvclient.jar that came with patch 6453515 which changed MapViewer version from
Ver10131_B06102 to Ver11_B07100.
The old mvclient.jar (came with MapViewer Ver10131_B06102) produces the following xml request string:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_request
datasource="ADATASOURCE"
srid="8307"
width="480"
height="480"
bgcolor="#a6caf0"
antialiase="false"
format="PNG_URL"

<center size="1.0">
<geoFeature>
<geometricProperty typeName="center">
<Point>
<coordinates>29.0,41.0</coordinates>
</Point>
</geometricProperty>
</geoFeature>
</center>
<themes>
<theme name="AMAPCACHE" datasource="ADATASOURCE">
<map_cache_theme map_cache_name="AMAPCACHE" snap_to_cache_scale="true"/> </theme> </themes>
</map_request>
What might cause this problem?
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
IDE: JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0
Thanks in advance,
