ActionEvaluator not evaluated for content action

jmliege — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 10:45:20 GMT

Hello,I'm currently adding a specific action on content.This works perfectly except that if i setup an evaluator, this one is never triggered, and my action remains not accessible.My Evaluator is a class which implements the ActionEvaluator interface.Here's my definition of the action.<alfresco-c

You say "and my action remains not accessible" do you mean it does not appear at all? I assume you have put a breakpoint in your code and it never gets called? If you code implements the correct interface:
org.alfresco.web.action.ActionEvaluator
then it will get called - that is how all the web-client actions work.

Thanks,

Kevin

MEA CULPA. ops: ops: ops: ops:

I was only using the logger (and my log4j.properties was corrupted).

But now, I known how this works.

I see that through <r:actions> tag, I go through the org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component UIActions class, and especially the following function :

buildActionGroup(FacesContext context, ActionsConfigElement config, ActionGroup actionGroup)

There I finally put a breakpoint, and a special condition :actionGroup.getId().equals("browse_menu")

And I found out that nothing was logged…and the problem was in my logic. (within evaluator i mean)

I will use my debugger more often (I'm a little bit old school…)

Really sorry. :?

Best regards,
