URL Addressability - Wizard inviteSpaceUsers

Hi everyone,I'm using Alfresco 2.2 Entreprise edition and cannot make the "inviteSpaceUsers" wizard work correctly by URL Addressability.I'm currently trying to create a link pointing to the Space's "inviteSpaceUsers" wizard. After some research, it's comes out to me that the right way of passing th

This is a really good question.

The current node is set up in the browse bean using an action listener. The action definition in web-client-config-actions.xml is

<action id="manage_space_users">
            <permissions>
               <permission allow="true">ChangePermissions</permission>
            </permissions>
            <label-id>manage_invited_users</label-id>
            <image>/images/icons/invite.gif</image>
            <action>dialog:manageInvitedUsers</action>
            <action-listener>#{BrowseBean.setupSpaceAction}</action-listener>
            <params>
               <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
            </params>
         </action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The org.alfresco.web.bean.wizard.InviteSpaceUsersWizard gets the current node by

this.browseBean.getActionSpace();‍

org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.ExternalAccessServlet uses the NavigationBean to set the current node. Use it in custom wizards / dialogs to get the current node.

this.navigationBean.getCurrentNode();‍

Question is which one to use? The quick and easy fix would be to do what you've done and ensure the browsebean action space is also set up in the ExternalAccessServlet.

Thanks Zaizi for your reply,

I didn't noticed the action configuration of the dialog, and in fact, it's seems to be the actionListener that setup the spaceAction before calling the servlet.

Question is which one to use? The quick and easy fix would be to do what you've done and ensure the browsebean action space is also set up in the ExternalAccessServlet.

But since i'm calling the wizard from URL and not from a standard alfersco Action button, how should I tell him to first setup the spaceaction ? I've actually redefined the servlet and added the line of code I was talking about, but I dont feel good … ops: There must be another solution ..

Thank again,
laurent
