I forgot but I also tried like this:
- I created a MyCustomModel.xml where I added this aspect:
<aspects>
      <aspect name="customays">
         <title>Department</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="customays">
               <type>d:int</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </aspect>
   </aspects>

- And I added it in extension-context.xml…

Do you have a getPays() method in your sub-class?

Ah but it was in protected that's why it was not working.
Thanks!

But now the problem I have is to add a menu box to my page, I have the following error:

javax.portlet.PortletException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Value binding '#{MyNewUserWizard.names}'of UISelectItems with component-path {Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot,ViewId: /jsp/wizard/new-user/my_person-properties.jsp][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlForm,Id: person-props][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlSelectOneMenu,Id: handleMetaDataEvent_id25][Class: javax.faces.component.UISelectItems,Id: handleMetaDataEvent_id26]} does not reference an Object of type SelectItem, SelectItem[], Collection or Map but of type : null

Do you know what is this error?

Thanks.

And in users.jsp how does this code work?

<r:nodePath value="#{r.homeSpace}" disabled="true" showLeaf="true" />

Where is defined homeSpace? I cannot find it anywhere in code?

Thanks for help

arggg… help!

This init() function of NewUserWizard is called in startWizardForEdit but where is called this startWizardForEdit??

Re: JSP page modifications

Wizards are launched via an actionListener attribute on an action link, these are defined in the relevant JSP. For example the new space wizard is launched from browse.jsp with the following:

<a:actionLink value="#{msg.new_space}" image="/images/icons/create_space.gif" padding="4" action="createSpace" actionListener="#{NewSpaceDialog.startWizard}" id="link1" />‍

Or to start a wizard in edit mode you would use:

actionListener="#{NewSpaceDialog.startWizardForEdit}"‍

When iterating through lists of stuff "r" represents each individual node, which in turn is basically a Map of properties. Therefore r.homeSpace represents a property in a map. If you look at org.alfresco.web.bean.users.UsersBean you'll find the following line:

props.put("homeSpace", homeFolderNodeRef);‍

And you final question, this error is because you are not returning a List of SelectItem objects from your getNames() method.

Hope this all helps.

Thanks for your help.
So that means that if I want to display "pays" for each user in users.jsp and thus use r.pays I should add this code somewhere:

props.put("pays", paysNodeRef);

It seems that these homeSpace, userName, fullName …etc are not all defined in the same class, is it normal? How do I choose where to define my property?

And for the error on menu, I have already the function getNames():
public List<SelectItem> getNames()
{
return this.userNames;
}

I think the problem is that I define a sub_class of NewUserWizard, then inside I added the attributes userNames and userName and I rewrote the function init() that is called in startWizardForEdit and this startWizardForEdit is called in users.jsp but not in person-properties.jsp (where I am trying to add this menu) so I guess this function is never called and thus my list is null…?

Thanks again

It depends, if you have defined the property "pays" on a custom type or an aspect then the Node being represented in the Map should aldready have the "pays" property available. fullName and homeSpace are calculated properties, they are not stored in the database, hence the reason they are added manually in this way.

startWizardForEdit will get called once for the wizard i.e. once you press the edit link in users.jsp. So the init method should be called just before person-properties.jsp is called. Have you redined the "NewUserWizard" bean in faces-config.xml to point to your subclass? Maybe your init method is not called for this reason?

Thanks for your answer.

I defined pays as follow:
<aspects>
      <aspect name="custom:EthicFlow_person">
         <title>Department</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="customays">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </aspect>
   </aspects>
And it is an attribute of MyNewUserWizard. The node represented in the Map should be the nodeRef that point on MyNewUserWizard?

And in faces-config.xml I left the bean NewUserWizard and I added mine as follow:

Is it false like this?

I found my fault for the "pays" I was not calling the startWizard of MyNewUserWizard….

But for the menu list I have this error now
Value is no String and component person-props:handleMetaDataEvent_id25 does not have a Converter

Do you know from where that can come from?

Re: JSP page modifications

gavinc — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 13:58:36 GMT

It may be something to do with the SelectItem objects you are returning. The values inside need to be String.

How are you constructing these? Could you post the code you have in the init() method of your wizard?
