As you've guessed, you need to setup some context for your wizard. The best way to do this is using an actionListener on the action definition that launches your wizard, so something like this:


<action-listener>#{BrowseBean.setupContentAction}</action-listener>
<params>
   <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
</params>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

This config assumes that your action is within a data row that has an "id" column available (that should already be correct as your action is part of the document_browse_menu group).

the return value is null! EXCEPT if I first view the details of that document then go back and choose that action on the menu.

This is because the Details page uses exactly the code you see above to setup the Node context for the action page.

Hope this helps,

Kevin
