FAST-ESP: How does the Java Boosting API work?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get the Java Boosting API of FAST ESP to work (version 5.1.5), but no success so far. When boosting a search profile with

PositionQueryBoost queryBoost = new PositionQueryBoost(id, boostingSearchProfile
            .getPublishedViewName(), searchTerm, 1);
BoostOperation addOperation = BoostOperation.add(queryBoost);
boostService.submitAndDeployOperation(addOperation);
boostService.publish(username, boostingSearchProfile, false)

the boost does not show up in the Search Business Center web page, nor does searching for it work (I have used annotation_class="user" for searching, as specified).

Interestingly, when looking up the existing boosts via API calls, the boost shows up (i.e. when I dump the following list to standard output):

boostService.retrieveBoostsByQueries(
            boostingSearchProfile.getPublishedViewName(), new   
SearchProfileRetrieveFilter());

Has anyone run into this situation yet? Any help is appreciated! (FAST documentation is not really helpful here).

I have tried to boost a collection name too (instead of a search profile), but that did not work either.
