Non-void return type for Application Module Clients Interface

Question

Hello, can anyone guide me on how will I solve my problem.
first of all, I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3, I use JSF, ADF Faces, ADF Model, ADF Business Components.
I made a web page that has a Transactional Capabilities, all is going smoothly, all data's can be saved to oracle database. I created a Custom Method in my Application Module and can be used in Clients Interface, that method is for saving data's to database.
My problem is I dont know how to create a custom method that returns a value in my Application Module. Which means if I set it to non-void return type, it is not visible to Client Interface. If you're going to ask me why I need it to return a value? Well since that method is for saving data's, if there's an Error Occured, I can return the Error Message and show it to my user interface.
Please help. thanks

If you want to return your own type then simply define it as serializable and you will find that it will appear in the Client Interface dialog of your AM.
eg, you could return this type from your application module to progagate a meaningful message to your UI:
package com.delexian.model;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class MyMessage implements Serializable {
    private String _severity;
    private String _message;
    public MyMessage() {
    public void setSeverity(String severity) {
        this._severity = severity;
    public String getSeverity() {
        return _severity;
    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this._message = message;
    public String getMessage() {
        return _message;
}regards,
