Process with RenderPDFForm using Java API not generating output file

Question

I have a short-lived process that renders a PDF/HTML form based on input parameters. It also takes a .xdp file as input. This works just fine from with
in Workbench (9.0). I have created a Java client to invoke this process. When I invoke the process from the Java Client,
it is not creating the output file. When I look at the invocation response, I see the output parameter (output file) name, but it is null.
Here is my code.
Properties connectionProps =
new Properties(); 
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_DEFAULT_SOAP_ENDPOINT", "http://hostname:8080");connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL","SOAP"); 
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_SERVER_TYPE", "JBoss"); 
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME", "username"); 
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD", "password"); 
//Create a ServiceClientFactory object
ServiceClientFactory myFactory = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance(connectionProps);
//Create a ServiceClient object
ServiceClient myServiceClient = myFactory.getServiceClient();
//Create a Map object to store the parameter value
Map params =
new HashMap();
File file =new File("C:/test1/test.xdp");File ofile =
new File("C:/TestProcess.pdf"); 
//String formName = "RD410-4.xdp";
InputStream inFile =new FileInputStream(file);OutputStream oFileStream =
new FileOutputStream(ofile); 
byte[] cData = "".getBytes(); 
Document inputData =
new Document(inFile); 
// Document outputData = new Document(oFileStream);
inputData.passivate();
params.put("Form", inputData);params.put(
"FormId", "12");params.put(
"RevId", "12");params.put(
"OutputType", "PDF");params.put(
"targetSubmission", "http://localhost:8090/LCWebProject/HandleData");params.put(
"param1",1);
InvocationRequest invokeRequest = myFactory.createInvocationRequest(
"MyApplication10/Processes/RenderForm", //Specify the short-lived process name
"invoke", //Specify the operation name
params,
//Specify input values
true); //Create a synchronous request
InvocationResponse invokeresponse = myServiceClient.invoke(invokeRequest);
Document encryptDoc = (Document) invokeresponse.getOutputParameter("outputFile"); 
//Save the encrypted PDF document returned by the process
 //Save the password-encrypted PDF document
File outFile =new File("C:\\test1.pdf");encryptDoc.copyToFile (outFile);
I see the output parameter "outputFile" in the invokeresponse object. But it is null.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction ?
Thanks,

I am not giving the solution, providing you a hint..
This is the query you need to satisfy,
SELECT NVL(R.DESCRIPTION ,CP.USER_CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME)
FROM FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS R, FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS_VL CP,XDO_DS_DEFINITIONS_B XDS
WHERE ( ( FND_PROFILE.VALUE('CONC_REPORT_ACCESS_LEVEL') = 'U'
AND R.REQUESTED_BY = :$PROFILES$.USER_ID ) or
( FND_PROFILE.VALUE('CONC_REPORT_ACCESS_LEVEL') = 'R'
AND R.RESPONSIBILITY_ID = :$PROFILES$.RESP_ID ) )
AND R.PROGRAM_APPLICATION_ID = CP.APPLICATION_ID
AND R.CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_ID = CP.CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_ID
AND XDS.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=
( SELECT APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME
FROM FND_APPLICATION
WHERE APPLICATION_ID=CP.APPLICATION_ID)
AND XDS.DATA_SOURCE_CODE = CP.CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME
AND R.OUTPUT_FILE_TYPE='XML'
AND R.STATUS_CODE not in ('E', 'D', 'T', 'X')
ORDER BY R.REQUEST_ID DESC
Go to system profiles and query for 'Concurrent:Report Access Level', responsibility you need and modify the profile name accordingly....
