VO Extension or Substitution Help Please - Urgent (iExpenses)

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to limit the data of the Projects and Tasks LOV (on the ExpenseAllocationsPG) in iExpenses Module. I tried a VO substitution and failed with an error.
ERROR: oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition type View Definition not found
basically it could not find my custom VO that i created, so i deleted it from the database.
This is basically what i want to do:
The standard Projects LOV from the ExpenseAllocationsPG
1.oracle.apps.ap.oie.server.ProjectsLovVO
SELECT * FROM (SELECT P.PROJECT_NUMBER PROJECT_NUMBER, P.PROJECT_NAME PROJECT_NAME, P.PROJECT_ID PROJECT_ID, P.START_DATE START_DATE, P.COMPLETION_DATE COMPLETION_DATE, (select O.NAME from HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS O where P.CARRYING_OUT_ORGANIZATION_ID = O.ORGANIZATION_ID)PROJECT_ORGANIZATION_NAME FROM PA_PROJECTS_EXPEND_V P) QRSLT ORDER BY PROJECT_NUMBER
2.oracle.apps.ap.oie.server.ProjectsVO
SELECT * FROM (SELECT P.PROJECT_NUMBER PROJECT_NUMBER, P.PROJECT_NAME PROJECT_NAME, P.PROJECT_ID PROJECT_ID, P.START_DATE START_DATE, P.COMPLETION_DATE COMPLETION_DATE, O.NAME PROJECT_ORGANIZATION_NAME FROM PA_PROJECTS_EXPEND_V P, HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS O WHERE P.CARRYING_OUT_ORGANIZATION_ID = O.ORGANIZATION_ID) QRSLT ORDER BY UPPER(PROJECT_NUMBER)
I tried to do a substititution on both LOV's
I then created custom Project LOV in a custom folder and i changed the the query a bit as follows to restrict the LOV to user projects:
SELECT P.PROJECT_NUMBER PROJECT_NUMBER,
P.PROJECT_NAME PROJECT_NAME ,
P.PROJECT_ID PROJECT_ID ,
P.START_DATE START_DATE ,
P.COMPLETION_DATE COMPLETION_DATE ,
(SELECT O.NAME
FROM HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS O
WHERE P.CARRYING_OUT_ORGANIZATION_ID = O.ORGANIZATION_ID
)PROJECT_ORGANIZATION_NAME
FROM PA_PROJECTS_EXPEND_V P,
PER_ASSIGNMENTS_F per,
HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS O,
FND_USER fu
WHERE per.person_id = pa_utils.getempidfromuser(fnd_global.user_id)
AND per.primary_flag = 'Y'
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN per.effective_start_date and per.effective_end_date
AND p.project_id IN(select project_id from pa_transaction_controls
where person_id = pa_utils.getempidfromuser(fnd_global.user_id)
UNION ALL
select project_id from pa_transaction_controls
where person_id is null
and expenditure_category = 'Labour'
UNION ALL
select project_id from pa_transaction_controls
where person_id = pa_utils.getempidfromuser(fnd_global.user_id)
and expenditure_category = 'Labour')
AND p.carrying_out_organization_id = o.organization_id
AND fu.employee_id = per.person_id
**all that is in bold is what i added.
my VO substitution does not work. i got errors.....
Can someone please help me.....am i doin the right thing or is there another approach. It would greatly appreciated. I guess if i can get the Projects LOV to work then the Task Lov would be the same.
Thanks

hi Kresen,
if u r unable to see that extended VO then verify wheter all these steps are done...
after extending that VO in jdeveloper......Please FTP all the 3 (VO.xml, Voimpl and VORowImpl)
into to $JAVA_TOP/<custom directory>/oracle/apps/ap/oie/server/ProjectsLovVO
this thing looks very silly but important......
Please Substitute the Seeded VO to the Extended VO in the Jdeveloper......then check in the .jpx file whether the substituion has taken place
in .jpx file
<Substitutes>
<Substitute OldName ="oracle.apps.ap.oie.server.ProjectsLovVO" NewName ="xxxx.oracle.apps.ap.oie.server.ProjectsLovVO" />
</Substitutes>
this thing should be present....import that jpx file...
Please convert the java files Voimpl and VorowImpl to Class files in the Server using javac command
bounce the apache
