Oim 11g R2 request submisson through code

Question

Hi All,
I have written a custom code for submitting the request from client using the following program.
private RequestData buildappinstance(Catalog item,String userLogin)
  UserManager userService = oimClient.getService(UserManager.class);
  User user=null;
  try{
  user=userService.getDetails(userLogin, null, true);
  }catch(Exception e){
  e.printStackTrace();
  throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage(),e);
  RequestData reqData=new RequestData();
  Beneficiary ben= new Beneficiary();
  String userkey=user.getId();
  System.out.println("userkey");
  ben.setBeneficiaryKey(userkey);
  ben.setBeneficiaryType(Beneficiary.USER_BENEFICIARY);
  RequestBeneficiaryEntity reqent=new RequestBeneficiaryEntity();
  /*reqent.setRequestEntityType(OIMType.ApplicationInstance);*/
  reqent.setEntitySubType(item.getEntityName());
  reqent.setEntityKey(item.getEntityKey());
  reqent.setOperation(RequestConstants.MODEL_PROVISION_APPLICATION_INSTANCE_OPERATION);
  List<RequestBeneficiaryEntity> entities=new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntity>();
  entities.add(reqent);
  ben.setTargetEntities(entities);
  List<Beneficiary> benfs=new ArrayList<Beneficiary>();
  benfs.add(ben);
  reqData.setBeneficiaries(benfs);
  return reqData;
public static void main(String args[]) {
List moList = null;
try {
Sample oimSample = new Sample();
// initialize resources
oimSample.init();
// retrieve User logins with first name 'Joe'
moList=oimSample.getUserLogin("joe");
Catalog item = new Catalog();
item.getEntityName();
ApplicationInstance appInst= new ApplicationInstance();
RequestService reqsrvc = oimClient.getService(RequestService.class);
RequestData reqData=new RequestData();
ApplicationInstanceService appInstAPI = (ApplicationInstanceService)oimClient.getService(ApplicationInstanceService.class);
SearchCriteria appInstSearchCriteria = new SearchCriteria(AccountSearchAttribute.APPINST_NAME.getId(),"app2",SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);
List<ApplicationInstance> appInstList = appInstAPI.findApplicationInstance(appInstSearchCriteria, null);
appInst = appInstList.get(0);
System.out.println("appinstancekey"+appInst.getApplicationInstanceKey());
System.out.println("appinstance name"+appInst.getApplicationInstanceName());
System.out.println(appInst.getItResourceKey());
item.setEntityKey("2");
item.setEntityName("app2");
System.out.println("entity key"+item.getEntityKey());
System.out.println("userlogin......"+userLogin);
reqData=oimSample.buildappinstance(item,userLogin);
reqsrvc.submitRequest(reqData);
System.out.println("request has been submitted");
System.out.println("appinastance has been created");
But getting the following error.
oracle.iam.request.exception.RequestServiceException: Request submission failed with Error getCacheEntry called with an empty or null key.
Caused by: oracle.iam.request.exception.RequestServiceException: Request submission failed with Error getCacheEntry called with an empty or null key.
when Iam writing the following statement
/*reqent.setRequestEntityType(OIMType.ApplicationInstance);*/ which is bold in the above code
getting the error
The method setRequestEntityType(OIMType) in the type RequestBeneficiaryEntity is not applicable for the arguments (OIMType)
Please help me out.
This is urgent.
Thanks.

Can you please confirm your OIMType class belongs to "oracle.iam.platform.utils.vo.OIMType" and not oracle.iam.catalog.vo.OIMType.
