Submitting xml using BI Publisher Web Services

Question

Hi,
We are developing a web service wrapper around the BI Publisher web services and we are facing problems in consuming the BI Publisher web services.
As per the scheduleReport method in the java class, it sends an xml data input to BI Publisher and the delivery is set to FTP. The report is not getting generated. The getScheduleReportStatus method returns an status of "Error"
Earlier I had tried bursting the report to the same FTP server and it was working, the only problem was that it was not picking up the data from the xml which was being passed in the report request object.
Then i reverted the code and used runReport instead of scheduleReport method. At that point of time, it started taking the xml file passed when i added the following line i.e. :
repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);
After this I again reverted back to scheduleReport method as our requirement needs a method which also handle bursting. Now neither of them are working (i.e FTP and input xml data).
Code for the web service wrapper (around BI Publisher Web Service) is as follows :-
