Custom Action Evaluator

mangar — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:00:46 GMT

I am having a problem with a custom evaluator. I have an action in my share-config-custom.xml: <action id="sammy.actions.writeToLog" icon="log_write" type="javascript" label="actions.sammy.writeToLog"> <param name="function">onActionSi

The evaluator always returns true. However, in your use of the evaluator you negate the output by using the attribute

negate="true"‍

. This means that the output of the evaluator is inverted. Therefore, true = false and the action doesn't show.

If you make the evaluator return false, or leave out the negate attribute or set it to false, the action should show up.

Try moving your JAR to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/lib instead of using $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib.

From my understanding the evaluator class you created is not there in your JAR, make sure your build was successful and contains this class.

Hi mani,

Thanks for your reply. That is what i am not understanding. Actually i have this java class in share jar in package as "org.alfresco.web.evaluator.doclib.action". And i have build this jar and placed it in "C:\tmcat\Webaps\share\WEB-INF\lib". I don't know where i am wrong.

Thanks in advance,
