Getting Java Beans working with Developer Forms 6i

Question

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to get Java Beans to work with the Developer Forms 6i. I keep getting diffrent errors depending on the bean I play with. I will detail the problems and the computer setup. I am sure this problem is a configuration one, I just dont seem to have enough experiance to determine the issue or the configuration problem.
Here are the problems I am encountering:
Problems 1:
--JDeveloper 10g
I cant see the VBean class. When I add this code, the VBean decleration comes up with an error.
import oracle.forms.ui.VBean;
public class MyNewClass extends VBean
public Class1()
This code shows the IMPORT statement with a wavy blue line under it and the word VBean after the extends also has on. I understand that this means that the JDeveloper cant find the class, I just cant seem to find the correct environment variable to set to point to this.
Second Problem:
--Forms 6i
I open forms, and create a new form. I then add a datablock and a canvas. I open the canvas and drop the BeanArea component on the canvas. I enter the fully pathed/qualified Bean in the Implementation Class and get one of three errors. Either a FRM-13008, a FRM-99999 with a 13009 or a 13010 error. I suspect that the 13008 error is because the bean I created does not have the correct decleration types or IView interface calls. My problem is that when I load any of the Oracle provided beans I get the 13009 or 13010 errors. I have looked here and in Metalinks for some kind of solution that I haven't already tryed, but to no avail.
Any advice on either of these problems would be appreciated. Please keep in mind that we cant upgrade to version 9 or 10 yet (silly aif force and their regulations), so those type of solutions arn't usable to me.
Here is the configuration information that I know about. If there is more information that can be provided or I need to provide more information, please let me know and I will get what I can.
Thanks,

Answer 1

Ok, I added the f60all.jar to the project. This allowed me to create the file using the VBean. I created the JAR file and copied it to the forms60/java directory. I also copied the new .class files to the forms60/java/mil/af/rs/leads direcory.
I then edited my formsweb.cfg file and had to add the jinit_archive tag. I set it = f60all.jar, P3load.jar. I also added my P3load.jar file to the default archive tag.
When I open up Forms, drop the bean area component on the canvas, and set the Implementation Class, I still get an error (13008), and when I run the form in web, and click the button to invoke the bean I get no response from the bean.
here is the code to invoke the bean. in_filename is a text component on the canvas and contained in the CTRL block. The bean area is named BEAN (because the demo was that way).
:in_filename := get_custom_property('BEAN',1,'getFileName');
synchronize;
Not sure where to go from here, but thanks for the help so far.
