Scheduled Actions:The java implementation,how does it works?

[kroax]

Hi,

I got a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions which explain the concept of scheduled actions. It is quite good but I know we need to reference java code to run the scheduled action. Particularly, we have to implement a java bean, but I know nothing more. There are no code examples on wiki, which class do I need to extend, which interfaces do I need to implement, basically, which part of the API do I need to use ?

Any code example will be great !

Thanks for your help.

I tried to set parameters in the .xml as required. My script names "autoImport.js". Unfortunately, the script doesn't run every minutes as I expect. Why ?

I've got quite same problem. The action seems to be running due to the log

Nevertheless the javascript isn't doing anything.

Following the example in the alfresco wiki finally my javascript works fine.
