watson dialogService return null when I try to update. Error

Question

I created a dialog and generated a response with an id. When I try to update the dialog, the API call returns a null answer instead of the dialog ID. Is my code wrong or is this a bug?

    ServiceCall dialog = service.updateDialog("ID", new File("file/template.xml"));
    System.out.println(dialog.execute());

It appears on the console in eclipse, when I try to update ... What did I do wrong?

Curl command I mean. A way to check if it's your code or the service. — Simon O'Doherty, Jul 05 '16 at 10:52

To clarify, please try to update/access the dialog that you have created by using an equivalent curl command. I realize that you're actually working in Java, but (as Simon said), trying the same command using curl from the command-line should help you determine if the problem is in the arguments that you;re supplying or in the Dialog service itself.

The updateDialog() method returns void because the Dialog API returns {}.
See https://watson-api-explorer.mybluemix.net/apis/dialog-v1#!/Content/putAppFile

It makes sense because when you update a dialog you get the same id you use to update the dialog.
