You need to call requestBusName on your connection object. Documentation
is in the Javadoc here:

   http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-java/api/org/freedesktop/dbus/DBusConnection.html#requestBusName(java.lang.String)

You would call it with something like this:

   DBusConnection c = DBusConnection.getConnection(DBusConnection.SESSION);
   ...
   c.requestBusName("my.dbus.service");

If you are autostarting you must be careful to export your objects (with
c.exportObject("/some/path", exportedobject)) _before_ requesting a bus
name, otherwise the message which autostarted it will not be delivered
correctly.
