Solution found !

I replaced :

The component id was right for Alfresco 2.1 but not anymore for Alfresco 3.3

Dear Ethan,

In which file have you done the above replacement, could you tell me the path to access to it.
UIPropertySheet ps = (UIPropertySheet)fc.getViewRoot().findComponent("document-details:document-props");

Thanks
