RunReport problem

Question

Hello,
I am new to web service and I'm trying to open BIP report in Apex by using web service (wsdl).
Firstly, I followed the tutorial http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/call-bi-publisher-web-services-from-apex/ , but I got the error message as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
     <soapenv:Body>
          <soapenv:Fault>
               <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>
               <faultstring>oracle.apps.xdo.webservice.exception.OperationFailedException: PublicReportService::generateScheduledReport Failure: oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: End tag does not match start tag 'session'.</faultstring>
               <detail>
                    <oracle.apps.xdo.webservice.exception.OperationFailedException/>
                    <ns1:hostname xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">cobra.revion.com</ns1:hostname>
               </detail>
          </soapenv:Fault>
     </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>However, I found another post Calling BI Publisher Web Services from APEX , which relates to the error and provides another solution as below:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:pub="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/PublicReportService">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <pub:runReport>
         <pub:reportRequest>
            <pub:attributeFormat>pdf</pub:attributeFormat>
            <pub:attributeLocale></pub:attributeLocale>
            <pub:attributeTemplate>New Template 1</pub:attributeTemplate>
            <pub:flattenXML>1</pub:flattenXML>
            <pub:parameterNameValues/>
            <pub:reportAbsolutePath>/~rdpatric/Training/whoami/whoami.xdo</pub:reportAbsolutePath>
            <pub:reportData></pub:reportData>
            <pub:reportDataFileName></pub:reportDataFileName>
            <pub:sizeOfDataChunkDownload>10000</pub:sizeOfDataChunkDownload>
         </pub:reportRequest>
         <pub:userID>user</pub:userID>
         <pub:password>password</pub:password>
      </pub:runReport>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>After creating the Web Service Reference using the code above, I created a button to call a page process which refers to the Web Service Reference.
Now, there is no error message anymore, but the problem is that there's no report generated or opened either. After clicking the button, the page refreshed and went back to the page where the button locates.
Is there anything I missed or did wrong? If you don't mind, please give me some advice. Thank you.
