Hi,

I'm new in Alfresco and i want to create an action (with Java Code) applicable to a document.

I have added the followings tags in web-client-config custom

   <config>
      <actions>       
         <action id="myAction">
            <label>MyAction</label>
            <image>/images/icons/add.gif</image>                        
         </action>            
         <!– Add action to more actions menu for each document–>
         <action-group id="document_browse_menu">
            <action idref="myAction" />
         </action-group>         
      </actions>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My questions is how i could connect this declaration with Java Code, i have proved to defining the tag 'action' and 'actionListener' but it don't work.

   <config>
      <actions>       
         <action id="myAction">
            <label>MyAction</label>
            <image>/images/icons/add.gif</image>                    
                 <action>es.alfresco.myAction</action>
         </action>            
         <!– Add action to more actions menu for each document–>
         <action-group id="document_browse_menu">
            <action idref="myAction" />
         </action-group>         
      </actions>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks in advance

Have you registered your action/ bean in your context.xml file in the extension directory? You'll probably need to add something to the context file located at <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/<your_company->-action-context.xml.

What you'll want to add will look similar to this:

<!– Your Action Bean –>
<bean id="your-action" class="com.your.comapny.action.name" parent="action-executer">
   <property name="nodeService">
      <ref bean="NodeService" />
   </property>
</bean>
