where should nodes get created?

I have put something similar to the following in the executeImpl method of an ActionExecuterAbstractBase subclass.NodeRef parent = nodeService.getPrimaryParent(actionedUponNodeRef).getParentRef();Map<QName, Serializable> props = new TreeMap<QName, Serializable>();props.put(QName.createQN

You probably want to use cm:contains rather than sys:children.

To write a content property there are some convienence methods on the Node Service that allow you to write Strings to a content properties. And you should also look at the Content Service that will allow you to get a ContentWriter.

Thanks, mrogers, your advise was perfect. Here is the corrected, and working, sample code.


NodeRef parent = nodeService.getPrimaryParent(actionedUponNodeRef).getParentRef();
props = new TreeMap<QName, Serializable>();
props.put(QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, "name"), "test dump");
props.put(QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, "title"), "testing node create");
props.put(QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, "author"), "Glenn");
props.put(QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, "description"), "test description");
ChildAssociationRef td = nodeService.createNode(parent, 
  ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, 
  QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, "test dump"),
  QName.createQName("kato.model", "criteria"),
  props);
ContentWriter writer = contentService.getWriter(td.getChildRef(), ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT, true);
writer.putContent("test content");
