Creating custom rule with Java code

[amitev]

Hi all! I tried the following in my environment   

Action action = actionService.createAction(AddAspectActionExecuter.NAME);

Rule rule = new Rule();
rule.setTitle("my Rule");
rule.setAction(action);
ruleService.saveRule(nodeRef, rule);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and later i try to get the rule to assert that it exists with the following code:

Rule rule = ruleService.getRule(nodeRef); //the nodeRef instance is the same used for rule save
‍‍‍

When getRule() is called i get the following exception:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.rule.RuleServiceException: 02100001 Rule exists without a specified action
   at org.alfresco.repo.rule.RuleServiceImpl.getRule(RuleServiceImpl.java:702)
   at …..
‍‍‍‍‍

Idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Here is some sample code to add a rule to a node. In this case the rule will add the Verisonable aspect to all nodes of type Content for a particular space.

  Rule rule = new Rule();
  rule.setRuleType(RuleType.INBOUND);
  rule.setTitle("Your Rule Title");
  rule.applyToChildren(false); // set this to true if you want to cascade to sub folders
      
  CompositeAction compositeAction = actionService.createCompositeAction();
  rule.setAction(compositeAction);
      
  ActionCondition actionCondition = actionService.createActionCondition(IsSubTypeEvaluator.NAME); 
      
  Map<String, Serializable> conditionParameters = new HashMap<String, Serializable>(1);
  conditionParameters.put(IsSubTypeEvaluator.PARAM_TYPE, ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT); // setting subtypes to CONTENT
  actionCondition.setParameterValues(conditionParameters);
            
  compositeAction.addActionCondition(actionCondition);
      
  Action action = actionService.createAction(AddFeaturesActionExecuter.NAME);        // The Add Aspect Action            
  action.setTitle("Your action title");
  action.setExecuteAsynchronously(false);
      
  Map<String, Serializable> ruleParameters = new HashMap<String, Serializable>(1);
  ruleParameters.put(AddFeaturesActionExecuter.PARAM_ASPECT_NAME, ContentModel.ASPECT_VERSIONABLE); // The Aspect to add      
  action.setParameterValues(ruleParameters);
      
  compositeAction.addAction(action);
            
  ruleService.saveRule(nodeRef, rule); // Save the rule to your nodeRef

Hope that helps.
