The problem here is that you are using beans that reference the JSF context. This is only initialised if you use the Alfresco Explorer client (a JSF app). The correct procedure is to use Spring injection of the bean definitions that you require for your action bean - you should not try and get references to services etc. via any kind of "helper" class you might have found - as in this case it is not the context to use it. The Node and Repository classes are part of the web-client package - and are only of use to the web-client itself i.e. not repository level classes.

Examples of Spring bean injection of services can be seen all over Alfresco config, for example the Action Service itself:


    <!– Action Service –>
    <bean id="actionService" class="org.alfresco.repo.action.ActionServiceImpl" init-method="init">
        <property name="policyComponent">
            <ref bean="policyComponent" />
        </property>         
        <property name="nodeService">
            <ref bean="NodeService" />
        </property>         
        <property name="searchService">
            <ref bean="ADMSearchService" />
        </property>         
        <property name="authenticationContext">
            <ref bean="authenticationContext" />
        </property>        
        <property name="actionTrackingService">
            <ref bean="actionTrackingService" />
        </property>        
        <property name="dictionaryService">
            <ref bean="DictionaryService" />
        </property> 
…

You just need a setter method for each service you want.

Thanks,

Hi, thank you for the suggestions. I still have the problem. I have modified the code as you said. Here below you can find the components of the bean used. Is there still one of the components that refers to JSF context? If any, pleasse confirm, or have you got any other suggestion?


   <bean id="discussionsPopulator" class="it.quix.share.todolist.populator.DiscussionsPopulator">
         <property name="permissionService" ref="PermissionService" />
         <property name="authorityService" ref="AuthorityService" />
         <property name="personService" ref="PersonService" />
         <property name="nodeService" ref="NodeService" />
         <property name="contentService" ref="ContentService" />
   </bean>

Thnx and regards,
Paolo

The Node and Repository classes- in-fact anything in the web packages. For an action running in the repo (which you have) you should only use repository level services and deal directly with NodeRef objects not wrap them in a web class.

Hope this helps,
