Thanks for the reply Jitendra...
Actually in Liferay 6.1 they have created two article-id and group -id in PortletPreference object.
articleId and groupId .. After setting the values in these two fields its working fine.

If you simply want to store your form elements value in preferences then here is trick in LR 6.1
Check this http://itsliferay.blogspot.in/2013/01/save-portlet-preferences-in-liferay-61.html.

I am using Liferay 6.1EE
And its not working in my case.
Attaching you the code .

javax.portlet.PortletPreferences preferences = PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil
.getLayoutPortletSetup(layout, journalPortletId);
//PortletPreferences prefs = PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil.getLayoutPortletSetup(layout, journalPortletId);
long ownerId = PortletKeys.PREFS_OWNER_ID_DEFAULT;
int ownerType = PortletKeys.PREFS_OWNER_TYPE_LAYOUT;
preferences.setValue("article-id", articleId);
preferences.setValue("group-id", String.valueOf(groupId));
preferences.store();
PortletPreferencesLocalServiceUtil
.updatePreferences(ownerId, ownerType,
layout.getPlid(), journalPortletId,
preferences);
System.out.println("layout.getPlid() = "+layout.getPlid());
System.out.println("---------------------");
if (preferences != null) {
System.out.println(preferences.getMap());
//System.out.println("groupId = "+preferences.getValue("group-id", ""));
}
System.out.println("---------------------");

Thanks , at least I found the solution!!
The code I used inside my portlet is similar. Here's:
.
long ownerId = PortletKeys.PREFS_OWNER_ID_DEFAULT;
int ownerType = PortletKeys.PREFS_OWNER_TYPE_LAYOUT;
.
String portletId = "56_INSTANCE_Jn0b";
javax.portlet.PortletPreferences preferences = PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil
.getLayoutPortletSetup(mylayout, portletId);
preferences.setValue("group-id", new Long(groupId).toString());
preferences.setValue("article-id", myarticle.getArticleId());
// update the portlet preferences
PortletPreferencesLocalServiceUtil.updatePreferences(ownerId,
ownerType, mylayout.getPlid(), portletId, preferences);

.
.
In this way I'm able to associate my article (myarticle) to the web content display of my page (mylayout).

In web content vm template you can try this code to set preferences

#set($layoutLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.LayoutLocalService"))
#set($layout = $layoutLocalService.getLayout($getterUtil.getLong($request.theme-display.plid))) 
#set ($locPortletId = "56_INSTANCE_Arg7pSXTGtht")
#set ($portletPreferencesFactoryUtil = $portal.getClass().forName("com.liferay.portlet.PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil"))
#set ($portletSetup = $portletPreferencesFactoryUtil.getLayoutPortletSetup($layout, $locPortletId))
#set ($temp = $portletSetup.setValue("articleId", "11039"))
#set ($temp = $portletSetup.setValue("groupId", $groupId.toString()))
#set ($temp = $portletSetup.store())

Setting PortletPreferences programmatically

I have a page with a WebContentDisplay in it and I have a JournalArticle to associate with it.
i would like to associate the JournalArticle to the portlet programmatically.

So I get the portlet preferences of the portlet but I don't know how to set the new values, the article-id for example.
Here's the code I'm using:

//getting the portlet preferences of the portlets of my layout
List<com.liferay.portal.model.PortletPreferences> preferences = PortletPreferencesLocalServiceUtil
.getPortletPreferencesByPlid(layoutDocumenti.getPlid());
//iterating over PortletPreferences
if (preferences != null) {
for (PortletPreferences preference : preferences) {
//checking the id of the portlet i want to set
if (preference.getPortletId().equals("56_INSTANCE_Jn0b")) {
//getting the preference
String xml = preference.toXmlString();

//AND NOW HOW TO SET NEW VALUES ????

}
}
}

Thanks for any idea!!
