Are you using 1.4 by any chance?

The example on the wiki is slightly out of date with the latest code, change the following in the JSP:

<f:selectItems value="#{RunActionWizard.aspects}" />‍

to

<f:selectItems value="#{RunActionWizard.testableAspects}" />‍

Thanks for reporting this, i have update the wiki page with this change.

[gavinc]

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Hi,

when I click Add Aspect doesn't appear the JSP page.
It does not appear message of error.
My version of Alfresco is 1.3

Somebody can help me?

Thanks.

It probably means that your config for the dialog is not being picked up for some reason, make sure you have followed all the steps precisely.

Hi,

I have verified all the steps and I think that all is correct.
With the example of custom JSP I have done the same and I don't have problems.

I have folowed this steps:
1) I have created .jar file (jar cvf custom-dialog.jar alfresco META-INF org)
2) I have copied this file in /alfresco/web-inf/lib
3) I have copied the file add-aspect.jsp in /alfresco/jsp/extension
4) I have restarted Alfresco

Someone knows what is the problem???

Thanks.

[gavinc]

What is the structure of your JAR file? Can you post it here?

You could also try turning on debugging, particularly for:

org.alfresco.web.app.AlfrescoNavigationHandler

Please post any output you see when you select the Add Aspect action.

Hi,

* In my JAR file there are three folders (alfresco, META-INF and org). I have used the following command: jar cvf custom-dialog.jar alfresco META-INF org

* When I select the Add aspect action the dialog doesn't change. The JSP file that I have created not load.

* This is the result of debug:
