(Server)Object types in Forms 5.5

Question

I know it's old
but I don't remember well (it seams to me that it isn't possible)
declare
  tree tvthemes; 
  treeObj SOTVProductTree; 
begin
  treeObj := new SOTVProductTree(9987451);
  tree :=  treeObj.tree;
  message(tree(1).denumire);
end;So ... can i do this in forms?
Strangely is that the declaration part works
Thanks

I havenţt managed to this with objects but with plain types works... :)
this is my package:
create or replace package n is
  -- Author  : FLORINP
  -- Created : 11/5/2009 3:16:53 PM
  -- Purpose :
  -- Public type declarations
  type s is record(
    n number
  type x is record(
    y varchar2(100),
    z s
  ready boolean := false;
  function getX return x;
  function getReady return boolean;
  procedure setReady(b boolean);
end n;
create or replace package body n is
  function getX return x is
    vx x;
    vs s;
  begin
    for i in 1..1000 loop
      null;
    end loop;
    ready := true;
    vx.y := 'gata '||to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi');
    vs.n := 1000;
    vx.z := vs;
    return vx;
  end;
  function getReady return boolean is
  begin
    return ready;
  end;
  procedure setReady(b boolean) is
  begin
    ready := b;
  end;
begin
  null;
end n;and this is how i use it:
DECLARE
  x n.x;
BEGIN
  x := n.getX;
  message(x.y);
  message(x.y);
  message(x.z.n);
  message(x.z.n);
END;...and it realy works... but unfortunately i haven't managed to use with an object
So why 'type is record' is serializeble but 'type is object' no?
And as far as I figure forms complains about the 'new' keyword (call the constructor)... I wonder if I get just the object allready constructed on the server....
