Hello,

you can use filefolderService to get your content.
For example, you can user this method : serviceRegistry.getFileFolderService().getReader(nodeRef)
JavaDoc : http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/service/cmr/model/FileFolderService.html

or you can use ContentService with this function : serviceRegistry.getContentService().getReader(nodeRef, propertyQName)

It's a beginning…

Hi, thanks for the reply. Now the problem I have is that I don't know how to get the current NodeRef. It seems I have to use createStore from NodeService and then use the StoreRef to get the root/current NodeRef using getRootNode. But, I don't know what parameters I have to use in createStore.
Is createStore + getRootNode the right way to get the current node? If yes, how is the right way to call create store?

Thanks,

It's not necessary to create a store for this action.
If you follow the SDK sample, you already have a NodeRef (for a node space! not for a node document!).
So it's not really what you want. But if you have changed this for a node document it's ok.

If you want to have a good start for creating an action, follow this link : http://www.ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-actions/actions-article.pdf
