Hi Qinghua Guo,
The problem you hit is that you do not have a CPX file in your project with references to your module, or that your definition is incorrectly defined. It should be "definition=<name_of_cpx_file>.<name_of_datacontrol>", which in your case would look something like this:
"definition=<name_of_cpx_file>.<model_VPSAppModule>"
If you are building a new application I strongly suggest that you try to use the new ADF Data bindings instead of the old BC4J specific tags. Please refer to the ADF UIX tutorial on OTN for more information (http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/tutorials/9050/adfuix_tut.html).
If you still want to use the old BC4J tags there is currently a bug filed against the CPX file in the JDev 10g Preview, which prevents you from manually creating a CPX file or adding a bc4j AppModule to an already existing CPX file. The workaround is to use the Data Control Palette to DAD a component on to your page. This will create a new cpx file in your project. You can then remove the component and continue develop your application with the old BC4j tags.
