Hello,

please don't try to get the application context in that manner within an Action. There is absolutely no need to - you can inject all the services you require by providing a field, a setter and the necessary "<property>" definition in the Spring context file. Have a look at <a href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Actions#Configuring_in_Spring">the Custom Actions wiki page</a>. The problem you are having should solve itself this way - the problem is, that you are essentially trying to start a new Alfresco Repository within an already running instance.

Regards
Axel
