Please check if your TrainingCenterData is defined in yourfacadeextension-beans.xml as abstract=true. You have to make sure that your Data Pojo is not abstract. The Example Data POJO in the SAP Commerce template is unfortunately defined as abstract, which leads to problems when you just copy paste the SAP example.
