SOA Suite Business Rules: Error caching the Decision Services metadata

Question

hi ofm users
im currentntly trying
SOA Suite 11.1.1.1.0
on Oracle XE
on Windows XP Pro
what im trying is a simple use case of business rule component,
my service is getWorkStatusByDay, that i implement using
business rules component using decision table.
my rule model is (conceptually):
Day{
     String id;
     String code;//mon,tue,wed,...,sat,sun
WorkStatus{
     String id;
     String code;//holiday, work
WorkStatus getWorkStatusByDay(Day):
is rule service that decides WorkStatus code by Day code,
eg:
if Day.code=mon,tue,wed,...,fri then we got WorkStatus.code=work
if Day.code=sat,sun then we got WorkStatus.code=holiday
i've successfully created the composite project, using
rule component, mediator, and exposed it as a webservice
compiled and deployed ok.
but when i try to run the service using soapUI WS tester,
i'm getting error in the console, see stacktrace below.
im able to reproduce the error by deploying the project
to another computer with a same spec as above.
So is there any solution to this ? how to fix this issue,
as this is a very basic sample scenario.
Any information will be appreciated,
as im looking forward to evaluating Oracle Business for a client project :)

Check the underlying exception and correct the error. This is most likely due to a rule modeling isssue. Validate the rule dictionary in rule designer and fix any errors and warnings. If the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.
