Error while deploying OAF to Oracle Apps

Question

Hi,
I have just started learning OAF and working on Oracle Apps as Tech Consultant for last 5 years. I am getting some issues when deploying the test page into Oracle Apps. Kindly help me getting through it.
The details are given below,
I tried to deploy my test(Hello) page to OA but I am not
getting success. It works fine when I run the page from jDeveloper but when I deploy it give
out error's. Request you to let me know where am I going wrong. Following are the steps which I do,
1. Develop the Project/ JSP form using jDeveloper and test running the page HelloWorldPG.xml and it works fine.
2. The project is saved in the following directory structure.
C:software/oa/jdevhome/jdev/myprojects/oracle/apps/ak/xxtest --> this directory has the usual directories
mapped with the BC Packages of the project (Server and Webui)
Following are the Business Comp Pkgs of the project
. oracle.apps.ak.xxtest.server
. oracle.apps.ak.xxtest.webui
2. move the folder/ directory xxtest to the server directory $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ak in text transfer mode
3. After copying again transfer the .java/ .class files in binary transfer mode and give the permission 777.
4. import the new directory structure/ path of the page in MDS repository
import C:software/oa/jdevhome/jdev/myprojects/oracle/apps/ak/ xxtest/webui/HelloWorldPG.xml -jdk13 -mmddir "C:software/oa/jdevhome/jdev/myhtml/OA_HTML/jrad" -username apps -password bmw007 -rootdir C:softwareoajdevhomejdevmyprojects -dbconnection " (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=DEV2)(PORT=15 21))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DEV2)))"
Note I even tried with XMLImporter using the below command
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter $APPL_TOP/ak/11.5.0/mds/xxtest/webui/HelloWorldPG.xml -username apps -password bmw007 -rootdir $APPL_TOP/ak/11.5.0/mds/ -rootPackage /oracle/apps/ak -dbconnection "(description=(address_list=(address=(community=tcp. world)(protocol=tcp)(host=DEV2)(port=15251)))(connect_data=(sid=DEV2)))"
Somehow it doesnt work. Do we need to create the mds directory in $APPT_TOP/ak?????? as it says the page/ direcoty cannot found. So I used the 1st import option.
5. Register the Function and attach the function to a menu.
OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ak/xxtest/webui/HelloWorldPG
Now when I access the page I get the below errors - ( I am pasting few lines of error as I cannot paste the full text)
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: Could not load application module 'oracle.apps.ak.xxtest.server.HelloWorldAM'.

Anil,
You can get corresponding class files from myclasses folder which has same directory structure as myprojects in jdev.You can find myclasses folder in <jdev install dir>/jdevhome/jdev/myclasses.
But as per my personal experience it is always better to compile java files on the server, as if instance jdk version is separate from jdeveloper' jdk version, problems may arise.
Also take care when u move class files from local to application server, move in bin format as class files are binary files.
