Standard OA PAGE Extension

Question

Hi All,
I am quite new to OA frame work. I got a requirement where in need to change the behaviour of check box of a stanard OA Page.
When ever the page is opened the check box is being checked, we want to make this unchecked.
We tried to do personilization but it does not work, now we want to do this change at what level ?,I feel Extending the Existing VO is the correct option.
But what are the steps in doing so, I mean what files i need to FTP and and where to make the changes.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Kumar.

Hello Kumar,
Please do the following steps:
1. Under your jdev myclasses directory, place the seeded CO in similar folder structure. In your case you need create the following folder structure under myclasses folder:
<<Jdev my classess>>/oracle/apps/pos/sbd/webui
2. Now create a custom CO( a new java file) in Jdev under the following path:
<<your custom company code>>/oracle/apps/pos/sbd/webui
For e.g. if I work for a company abc, my custom CO will be in the following package:
abc.oracle.apps.pos.sbd.webui.CustomCOName
3. You have to write similar code in your custom CO:
package abc.oracle.apps.pos.sbd.webui;
import oracle.apps.fnd.common.VersionInfo;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAControllerImpl;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAPageContext;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.OAWebBean;
import oracle.apps.pos.sbd.webui.SuppNwActCO;
public class ABCSuppNwActCO extends SuppNwActCO
public static final String RCS_ID = "$Header$";
public static final boolean RCS_ID_RECORDED =
VersionInfo.recordClassVersion(RCS_ID, "%packagename%");
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean checkBox = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("<<chk box name>>");
     if(null != checkBox){
          checkBox.setChecked(true);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
Please edit the package , class name and the check box bean details in the above code.
4. Once you complete this, compile the file and put the class file in /Instance/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/<<custom identified>>/oracle/apps/pos/sbd/webui
5. You have to do a personalization as mentioned in the link I gave in my previous update.
