How do I raise a Business Event from a OAF page?

Question

Hello,
I am developing a custom system using the OAF and need to raise a custom Business Event, which in turn will have a subscription to launch a workflow process.
How do I raise a Business Event from a OAF page ?
Can I use the classes in oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.* ?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,

Hi,
When I try to compile just the basic part of my class I receive the following error:
Error(21,36): cannot access class javax.jms.TextMessage; file javax\jms\TextMessage.class not found
Class Code:
import oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.BusinessEvent;
public class VscmsEvents
public VscmsEvents()
public static void main(String[] args)
VscmsEvents vscmsEvents = new VscmsEvents();
//Initialize BusinessEvent, Payload objects
public void initEvent(String eventName, String eventKey, String eventData)
//Create BusinessEvent Object
BusinessEvent mEvent = new BusinessEvent(eventName, eventKey);
Furthermore, when using the BusinessEvent object to raise the event I will need to provide the raise method with a java.sql.Connection parameter. In the context of a OAF page how will I perform this?
Thanks for the help.
