prolem with mail sender class

[ucf]

I want to make a java class that sens email, I've found the example given by jeff potts but it just executes the method initialiseHandler, it doesn't execute the mail action in the execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) method, can anyone help?
thank you

Alfresco already has an email action.   You could take a look at that or follow a tutorial on the java mail API.

First define ServiceRegistry field in your class

private ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry ;
‍‍‍

Then get serviceRegistry  in initialiseHandler() method

this.serviceRegistry = (ServiceRegistry)factory.getBean(ServiceRegistry.SERVICE_REGISTRY);
‍‍‍

Last ,send email using mail actin in execute() method

ActionService actionService = serviceRegistry.getActionService();
Action mail = actionService.createAction(MailActionExecuter.NAME);

mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_SUBJECT, subject);        
mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_TO, recipient);
mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_FROM, from address);
mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_TEXT, body text);
actionService.executeAction(mail, null);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

thanks but the problem is that it doesn't even enter in execute() method, I wote a System.out.println() to check, it was negative

Have you configured your class in your process definition xml file?
And you class must inherit from org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.JBPMSpringActionHandler

[ucf]

yes I actually did extends JBPMSpringActionHandler and added the bean of the class in the services-context.xml and in processDefinition.xml as an action inside a task node

[kaynezhang]

Please paste your process definition here.You should configure full class name in process definition,like following

<action class="**.****.***.YourAction" />

Thanks a lot for your help, it turned out that the workflow wasn't starting well, problem solved thank you

[kaynezhang]

If you just want to send email in action handler ,you can also use

org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript ‍

which is a jBPM action handler for executing alfresco Script
