Hi,

I tried to add some rules on a folder thanks to the WebService api.
I have already seen the others topics on this subject and I can now add rules with extract medata or add aspect actions.
However, I would like to know what are the parameters to add for the others possible actions (email,move, transform …).

Here is the method which I would like to know the parameters :

newAction.setParameters(new NamedValue[]{new NamedValue(name,isMultiValue,value,values)});‍

In order to find  String name, boolean isMultiValue, String value, String[] values for the rules on a particular node, I tried this code:

private static void enumParameters(Reference node) throws ActionFault, RemoteException{
      Rule[] array = WebServiceFactory.getActionService().getRules(node,new RuleFilter()); 
      String trace = "There are "+ array.length + " rules on this node:\n"; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (int i=0; i<=(array.length-1); i++){ 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;trace += "rule("+i+"): "+array[i].getTitle() + " | " + array[i].getDescription()+"\n"; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NamedValue[] parameters=array[i].getAction().getParameters();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (parameters!=null){
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;trace += "There are "+ parameters.length + " parameters lines for this action:\n"; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (int j=0; j<=(parameters.length-1); j++){ 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;trace += "parameters line("+j+"): "+parameters[j].getName() +", "+parameters[j].getIsMultiValue()+", "+parameters[j].getValue()+"\n";&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;System.out.println(trace);
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Unfortunatly, this only returns the parameters of the rules that I added thanks to the api and not with the web client. And I'm always at the same point.
So is there anybody who found what are the different parameters to put in NamedValue ??


thanks

Finally, I found how to obtain the name and the type of the action parameters thanks to the action name:

Try this code:

public static void getActionItemDefinition(String actionName) throws Exception
   {
//   Récupération du service Action d'Alfresco
   ActionServiceSoapBindingStub actionService = WebServiceFactory.getActionService();

      // Récupérer une action
      ActionItemDefinition actionDefinition = actionService.getActionItemDefinition(actionName, ActionItemDefinitionType.action);
      System.out.println("Definition de l'action "+actionDefinition.getName());
      System.out.println("Titre de l'action : "+actionDefinition.getTitle());
      System.out.println("Description de l'action :"+actionDefinition.getDescription());
      System.out.println("Propriétés non définies acceptées :"+actionDefinition.isAdHocPropertiesAllowed());
      //paramètres definis pour cette action
      ParameterDefinition[] parameters=actionDefinition.getParameterDefinition();
      System.out.println("Paramètres de l'action :");
      if(parameters!=null)
      {
         for(ParameterDefinition parameter : parameters){
            System.out.println("Nom du paramètre :"+parameter.getName());
            System.out.println("Type du paramètre :"+parameter.getType());
            System.out.println("Paramètre obligatoire :"+parameter.isIsMandatory());
            System.out.println("Description du paramètre :"+parameter.getDisplayLabel());
         }
      }
      else{
         System.out.println("aucun paramètre");
      }
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this can help someone else
