STRUTS and UIX: How to use getCustomMethod in event handler

Question

I am having app module method exposed to a client as my custom method that does something. Then I have a data page (UIX) with a submit button that triggers event handler:
public void onMyEvent(DataActionContext ctx) {
    HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
    HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    JUCtrlActionBinding method = ctx.getCustomMethod();
    if (method == null) System.out.println("method is null!!!!!!!!!!!");for some reason my method handle is null WHY???
this seems to work when I call my method from findForward() though.

If you use ADF BC, you can override the method create(AttributeList) in the Entity Object implementation class (EmployeesImpl.java).
Use: Menu --> Tools --> Override Methods --> create
In the overridden create method you can assign the next value from a DB sequence (e.g. EMP_SEQ) to the ID attribute:
protected void create(AttributeList nameValuePair) {
// Super
super.create(nameValuePair);
// Id
SequenceImpl s = new SequenceImpl("EMP_SEQ", getDBTransaction());
setEmployeeId(s.getSequenceNumber());
}
