Create a share site with a program

[anita_platos]

I have created a site with a Java program. It creates OK the site but it is unaccessible.
This is the java program:

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpStatus;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.StringRequestEntity;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public class CreateSiteTest 
{
   public static final String HOSTNAME="localhost";
   public static final String USER="admin";
   public static final String PASSWORD=USER;
   public static final Integer PORT=8080;
   public static final String APIURL="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/sites";
   public static final String SHORTNAME="mysite";
   public static final String VISIBILITY="PUBLIC";
   public static final String SITEPRESET="site-dashboard";
   public static final String CONTENT_TYPE="application/json";
   public void crearNuevoSitio ()
   {
      System.out.println("SHORTNAME= "+ SHORTNAME);
      HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
      client.getState().setCredentials(
                     new AuthScope(HOSTNAME, PORT, "Alfresco"),
                     new UsernamePasswordCredentials(USER, PASSWORD));
      String apiurl ="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/sites";
      PostMethod post = new PostMethod(apiurl);
      try 
      {
         JSONObject site=new JSONObject ();
         site.put("description", SHORTNAME); 
         site.put("shortName", SHORTNAME);
         site.put("visibility", VISIBILITY);
         site.put("sitePreset", SITEPRESET);
         site.put("title", SHORTNAME);
         site.put("description", SHORTNAME);
         System.out.println(site.toString());
         post.setDoAuthentication(true);
         post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", CONTENT_TYPE);
         post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(site.toString(), CONTENT_TYPE, "UTF-8"));
         int status = client.executeMethod(post);
         if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) 
         {
            System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());
         } 
         String resultString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
         System.out.println(resultString);
      } 
      catch (Exception e) 
      {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } 
      finally 
      {
         post.releaseConnection();
      }
      
   }//void
}//class

The problem is that when I try to access to the site in the Share, it appears an error in the explorer interface telling this:

 A server error has occured.
 There are a number of reasons why this could have happened:
 You have attempted to access a page that does not exist - check the URL in the address bar.
 You have attempted to access a page that is not accessable to you, such as a private Site dashboard.
 A valid page has been requested but the server was unable to render it due to an internal error -  contact your administrator.
Return to your dashboard page

The exception in the log is:

Moreover, in the application console browser I can see that normal sites created in the web interface  contain inside the folder "cm:surf-config", but my site created with the program doesn´t contain it. Somebody knows how can I create a site accessible with a program as I created using the Share inteface?
