FacesContext instance is null in webscript

[jnjp28]

Hi,

i have a problem with the use of FacesConext in a webscript (extends DeclarativeWebScript).
When i try to get an instance of FacesConext i have this error : "FacesContext must no be null"

This is the code :

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Config config = Application.getConfigService(context).getConfig(node);
ActionsConfigElement actionConfig = (ActionsConfigElement)config.getConfigElement(ActionsConfigElement.CONFIG_ELEMENT_ID);
ActionGroup actionGroup = actionConfig.getActionGroup("template");
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for your replies

Best regards

But why you need to get the FacesContext?
The FacesContext is dedicated to the Alfresco Web Client, you don't need to get this context. And you can't I think…
What are the resources that you want to use for your case?

Maybe you want to get the Service Registry of Alfresco…

Thanks for your reply,

ConfigService is not a public service, and it's not in ServiceRegistry.

Moreover i tried to inject configService with Spring but i don't know what implementation i have to use

I will try the "webClientConfigService"

Hi,

i found my problem. The last developer wanted to create a dynamique action group with a webscript :

protected List<Map<String, String>> buildActionGroup(FacesContext context, ActionsConfigElement config, ActionGroup actionGroup, Node node) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
      
      
      javax.faces.application.Application facesApp = context.getApplication();
      ResourceBundle messages = Application.getBundle(context);

      List<Map<String, String>> actions = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
      for (String actionId : actionGroup)
       {
          if (logger.isDebugEnabled())
             logger.debug("—processing ActionDefinition: " + actionId);
          
          ActionDefinition actionDef = config.getActionDefinition(actionId);
          if (actionDef == null)
          {
             throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("Unable to find configured ActionDefinition Id: " + actionId);
          }
          
          // build a permissions evaluator component to wrap the actionlink 
          PermissionEvaluator permEval = null;
          List<String> allow = actionDef.getAllowPermissions();
          if (allow != null && allow.size() != 0)
          {
             // found some permissions to test
             permEval = (PermissionEvaluator)facesApp.createComponent(UIActions.COMPONENT_PERMISSIONEVAL);
             String condition = allow.get(0);
             if (allow.size() != 1)
             {
                for (int i=1; i<allow.size(); i++)
                {
                   condition += "," + allow.get(i);
                }
             }
             permEval.setAllow(condition);
          }
          List<String> deny = actionDef.getDenyPermissions();
          if (deny != null && deny.size() != 0)
          {
             if (permEval == null)
             {
                permEval = (PermissionEvaluator)facesApp.createComponent(UIActions.COMPONENT_PERMISSIONEVAL);
             }
             String condition = deny.get(0);
             if (deny.size() != 1)
             {
                for (int i=1; i<deny.size(); i++)
                {
                   condition += "," + deny.get(i);
                }
             }
             permEval.setDeny(condition);
          }

          // Evaluate permissions
          if (permEval != null) {
             // Set context node
             permEval.setValue(node);
             if (! permEval.evaluate()) {
                // Skip this action
                continue;
             }
          }

          // now prepare any code based evaluators that may be present
          if (actionDef.Evaluator != null)
          {
             ActionInstanceEvaluator evaluator = (ActionInstanceEvaluator)facesApp.createComponent(UIActions.COMPONENT_ACTIONEVAL);
             evaluator.setEvaluator(actionDef.Evaluator);
             // Set context node
            evaluator.setValue(node);
             
             if (! evaluator.evaluate()) {
                // Skip this action
                continue;
             }
          }
          
          Map<String, String> action = new HashMap<String, String>();

          // Build href
          StringBuilder scriptHref = new StringBuilder(100);
          scriptHref.append("/command/script/execute");
          if (actionDef.Script.charAt(0) == '/') {
             // found a Path - encode it as a URL argument
             scriptHref.append("?scriptPath=");
             scriptHref.append(Utils.replace(URLEncoder.encode(actionDef.Script, "UTF-8"), "+", "%20"));
          }
          action.put("href", scriptHref.toString());
          action.put("target", actionDef.Target);
          action.put("image", actionDef.Image);
          if (actionDef.TooltipMsg != null) {
             action.put("tooltip", Application.getMessage(context, actionDef.TooltipMsg));
          } else if (actionDef.Tooltip != null) {
             action.put("tooltip", actionDef.Tooltip);
          }
          if (actionDef.LabelMsg != null) {
             action.put("label", Application.getMessage(context, actionDef.LabelMsg));
          } else if (actionDef.Label != null) {
             action.put("label", actionDef.Label);
          }
          
          actions.add(action);
       }
      
      return actions;
   }

To create an action group we must have a FacesContext. What is the bestPractice to create an action group with a webscript ?

I just wanted to know if your problem was solved or not……?
