You need to add mapping in for your java class and evaluator in this file
custom-slingshot-application-context.xml


    <bean id="evaluator.doclib.action.excludeMyBook" class="com.abc.xyz.Evaluatorclassname" > </bean>

Also make sure you package java class in jar and place it under share/WEB-INF/lib

Thanks for quick reply…!! I apologize for not writing all the configurations …I have already done all configurations and the menu-item hiding part is working perfectly …

The issue is there are some of the menu-item already hidden like following item,
<java>
<actionGroup id="folder-browse">
   <action index="360" id="document-cloud-sync" >
      <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.action.excludeMyBook</evaluator>
   </action>
</actionGroup>
</java>
now It will exlude for type bm:mybook, but it started to appear for other folders …
I am refering C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\share-documentlibrary-config.xml for the menu-item list.

As per Alfresco documentation Actions can have multiple evaluators, if one of the evaluator for that action returns true the option will get displayed in menu-item.
And rightly my java code returns "true" for the types other than "bm:mybook". and it enables other types to forcefully have that option included in the menu-list. which is incorrect for me.

So I was looking for some quick and easy way around .

There needs to be some-way around ..

I think this is the one you are looking for
evaluator.doclib.action.chainedMatchAll or evaluator.doclib.action.chainedMatchOne
They should run a list of evaluators as specified in
