Hello,

the authors class is NOT a Java-based web script, but simply a Java-based action - there is a difference between these two. Note that the initial Java-class is indeed a web script, but not the last example you referred to with the executor bean. An action can be called by the onActionFormDialog method - a webscript can't. Either you change your web script to a proper action or you stick to the initial action and change it to show a form which submits to your web script (note: every form can be configured to submit to a web script instead of the form service via a submission URL parameter).

Axel

Hello,
I'm trying to do the same thing than douglascrp but I'm new on Alfresco and Yahoo Toolkit… So I need help to follow your instructions in order to change the action to show a form.

If I understand, I take the same function "YAHOO.Bubbling.fire" and construct my dialog call in


n: function mycompany_onActionSendEmail(file) { … } 
‍‍‍

??

Another question is : what should I use to display a dialog (Alfresco.modules.SimpleDialog?). My need is to invite the user to select an item in a dropdown list on the dialog form and to call a javascript webscript with this dropdown list value as parameter when submit.

Then do I call "this.modules.actions.genericAction(…)" on the submit dialog function ?

Thanks for your help
