Get action id for action evaluated in ActionEvaluator impl

[bpeters]

Does any one know if it is possible to retrieve the action id for the action that is currently evaluated when an ActionEvaluator is executed?

I have for example the following action definition in my web-client-config:

<action id="test_id">
  <permissions>
    <permission allow="true">Write</permission>
  </permissions>
  <evaluator>nl.bua.alfresco.action.evaluator.ScriptableActionEvaluator</evaluator>
  <label>Test</label>
  <image>/images/icons/copy.gif</image>
  <action-listener>
    #{ActionHandlerBean.execute}
  </action-listener>
  <params>
    <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
  </params>
</action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In my ScriptableActionEvaluator I'd like to retrieve the value 'test_id' when the evaluator evaluates this action.

Thanks in advance,

Bas

Hi,
action id will be unique across the system.
So if you write the unique actionlistener  for each action then in your actionlistener you can findout what is the actionid
<action-listener>
    #{ActionHandlerBean.execute}
  </action-listener>

But what you are trying to do with the actionid?

Hi Patil,

I want to use the action definition for the action that is being evaluated in my ActionEvaluator implmentation to read a parameter.

Like this:

ActionService service = Repository.getServiceRegistry(context).getActionService();
ActionDefinition actionDefinition = service.getActionDefinition("test_id");‍‍

But in order to be able to read the definition I need the action id ('test_id').

It is just for the evaluator and not part of the action execution that is done in the actionhandler.execute() method.

Kind regards,

Bas
