I have tried to do the alfresco custom action tutorial of jeff potts, and I faced a problem with SetWebFlag.java, there was a problem in three lines:1- properties.put(QName.createQName(SomeCoModel.NAMESPACE_SOMECO_CONTENT_MODEL, SomeCoModel.PROP_IS_ACTIVE), activeFlag);‍‍2- properties.p

What version of Alfresco are you using?

What version of the tutorial are you using? (1st Edition or 2nd Edition).

Where did you get the tutorial source code? For example, 2nd edition source code lives here:
https://github.com/jpotts/alfresco-developer-series/tree/master/actions

What is the error message you are seeing?

Jeff

Dear jeff potts,,

I'm really happy that you personally replied, I have uploaded my screen shot, and about the tutorial I use the code that comes with the reference at the end of the page. The problem is that there is a syntax error I believe some where in the code, from SetWebFlag.java while using eclipse, the error saying that qname syntax will accept only strings, Qname(String,String) but in the tutorial the Qname(String,Qname) so what I did is this:
1-


      properties.put(QName.createQName(
            SomeCoModel.NAMESPACE_SOMECO_CONTENT_MODEL,
            (SomeCoModel.PROP_IS_ACTIVE).toString()), activeFlag);
‍‍‍‍‍


         properties.put(
               QName.createQName(SomeCoModel.NAMESPACE_SOMECO_CONTENT_MODEL,
                     (SomeCoModel.PROP_PUBLISHED).toString()), new Date());

‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have added toString(), and the error is gone and it gave me build success, I don't know but I fixed this way, so do you think there's something wrong?

Regards,,

Different versions of the SomeCo code have used different types for the constants in SomeCoModel. I started out using QNames and changed to Strings. The very latest code for all of my tutorials, which is known to work on later versions of Alfresco, resides on GitHub:

Your fix, which converts the QName to a String value should be fine.
