Unable get the bean in Controller of the item created through OAF Personalization

Question

Hello Folks,
I have a requirement to create an Static Styled Text item through OAF Personalization and that item should be shown if it meets some particular condition.
So I tried to extend the controller of the page and tried to get the reference of the bean but I am not getting the bean in the controller class.
I have seen the main page and some external regions are there in the page.
Main Page has the controller attached in its page layout region and other regions don't have any CO attached.
Whenever I create the item it is under that particular region.
When I try to access some seeded item created under that region and I am able to get the bean in the controller but not the one created by me.
Here is the scenario:
Suppose Page Name is TestPG, it includes some external region like XyzPG, whenever I create the item it gets created under XyzRN with name XyzRN.item1 but whatever seeded items are there those are there with name item2,item3 etc. For item2, item3 I am able to get the bean but not not for XyzRN.item1 in the controller.
Could you please tell me how to get the bean for XyzRN.item1 in the main page controller.
Please reply soon. Its urgent.
Thanks,
Raja Dutta

Hi Shobit,
I have tried the workaround given by you at the 4th reply.
a) In your base page controller, try to get bean instance of child embeded region top ui element.
b) Now use this bean instance to find child region instance from your base page CO
But it didn't work for me :-( :'(
Here is the information about the page and region:
The page includes the region like this:
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jrad" xmlns:oa="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oa" xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui" xmlns:jrad="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jrad" version="10.1.3_1086" xml:lang="en-US" file-version="$Header: AccountInfoPG.xml 120.8.12010000.2 2009/06/01 12:05:24 vnetan ship $" xmlns:user="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jrad/user">
<oa:pageLayout id="PageLayoutRN" windowTitle="Account Information" amDefName="oracle.apps.ce.bankaccount.server.BankAccountAM" controllerClass="oracle.apps.ce.bankaccount.webui.AccountInfoCO" warnAboutChanges="true">
<oa:defaultSingleColumn id="AccountInfoRN" extends="/oracle/apps/ce/bankaccount/webui/AccountInfoRN"/>
I have check the /oracle/apps/ce/bankaccount/webui/AccountInfoRN through Functional Administration, it doesn't have any controller attached.
I have tried like this:
1. I have created one static styled text item through the main page personalization:
Static Styled Text: IBAN Message which has id XxIBANMessage
2. Another static styled text item through the region (included in the main page )personalization:
Static Styled Text: (AccountInfoRN.XxIBANMessage1) [ When viewed at page level ]
Static Styled Text: (XxIBANMessage1) [ When viewed at region level ]
Controller Code is:
      try{
      // Get bean of Static Styled Text item  using    findChildRecursive
      OAStaticStyledTextBean ibanMessageBean2 = (OAStaticStyledTextBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("XxIBANMessage");
      if(ibanMessageBean2!=null && !ibanMessageBean2.equals(""))
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:found 1",2);
        ibanMessageBean2.setRendered(true);
      else
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:not found at page level 1",2);
      OAStaticStyledTextBean ibanMessageBean = (OAStaticStyledTextBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("AccountInfoRN.XxIBANMessage1");
      if(ibanMessageBean!=null && !ibanMessageBean.equals(""))
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:found 2",2);
        ibanMessageBean.setRendered(true);
      else
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:Not found with alias 2",2);
      OADefaultSingleColumnBean bean = (OADefaultSingleColumnBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("AccountInfoRN");
      pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:bean="+bean,2);
      OAStaticStyledTextBean ibanMessageBean1 = (OAStaticStyledTextBean)bean.findChildRecursive("XxIBANMessage1");
      if(ibanMessageBean1!=null && !ibanMessageBean1.equals(""))
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:found 3",2);
        ibanMessageBean1.setRendered(true);
      else
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:Not found through region 3",2);
      /*===========with findIndexedChildRecursive ===========*/
        OAStaticStyledTextBean ibanMessageBean3 = (OAStaticStyledTextBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("XxIBANMessage");
        if(ibanMessageBean3!=null && !ibanMessageBean3.equals(""))
          pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:found 1",2);
          ibanMessageBean3.setRendered(true);
        else
          pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:not found at page level 1",2);
        OAStaticStyledTextBean ibanMessageBean4 = (OAStaticStyledTextBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("AccountInfoRN.XxIBANMessage1");
        if(ibanMessageBean4!=null && !ibanMessageBean4.equals(""))
          pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:found 2",2);
          ibanMessageBean4.setRendered(true);
        else
          pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:Not found with alias 2",2);
        OADefaultSingleColumnBean bean1 = (OADefaultSingleColumnBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("AccountInfoRN");
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:bean1="+bean1,2);
        OAStaticStyledTextBean ibanMessageBean5 = (OAStaticStyledTextBean)bean1.findIndexedChildRecursive("XxIBANMessage1");
        if(ibanMessageBean5!=null && !ibanMessageBean5.equals(""))
          pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:found 3",2);
          ibanMessageBean5.setRendered(true);
        else
          pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:Not found through region 3",2);
      catch(Exception e)
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:catch:Erro:"+e.getMessage(),2);
O/p through diagnostics:
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:not found at page level 1
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:Not found with alias 2
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:bean=OADefaultSingleColumnBean, localName='header'
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:Not found through region 3
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:not found at page level 1
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:Not found with alias 2
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:bean1=OADefaultSingleColumnBean, localName='header'
XXAccountInfoCO:processRequest:findIndexedChildRecursive:Not found through region 3
Please advise. its urgent. meanwhile I will try the workaround given at 3rd reply.
Thanks
