Has anybody implemented FBEAN with dispatchCustomEvent?

Question

Have successfully implemented a lot of Beans without custom event handling, now I need this. So I have defined following test.java:
import oracle.forms.handler.IHandler;
import oracle.forms.properties.ID;
import oracle.forms.ui.CustomEvent;
import oracle.forms.ui.VBean;
public class test extends VBean {
static final ID TESTEVENT = ID.registerProperty("TESTEVENT");
private IHandler vIHandler = getHandler();
public test() {
System.out.println("Bean test has been instantiated");
public void init(IHandler i_vIHandler) {
super.init(i_vIHandler);
vIHandler = i_vIHandler;
System.out.println("init: i_vIHandler>" + i_vIHandler + "<");
System.out.println("init: vIHandler>" + vIHandler + "<");
System.out.println("Method init has been invoked");
public void log() {
try {
System.out.println("log: vIHandler>" + vIHandler + "<");
System.out.println("Method log has been invoked");
CustomEvent vCustomEvent = new CustomEvent(vIHandler, TESTEVENT);
dispatchCustomEvent(vCustomEvent);
System.out.println("Event has been invoked");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception>" + e.getMessage() + "<");
The problem is, when I call
Fbean.register_bean(hbean, 1, 'test');
then the constructor is called without calling init before. So if I later call:
Fbean.Invoke(hbean, 1, 'log');
I get an exception that argument vIHandler in call:
CustomEvent vCustomEvent = new CustomEvent(vIHandler, TESTEVENT);
is null. So the WHEN-CUSTOM-EVENT-Trigger is not raised.

Hello!
Sorry, I do not have a solution, but the same problem: everythin works OK with my beans. But when I try to implement custom events - init() is not called and getHandler() always returns null!
