source and target

[enkidu]

hi mates,

how can i pass the source and the target directory from alfresco explorer gui to my custom action? my code looks like this:

package com.custom.action;

import java.util.List;

import org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.ActionExecuterAbstractBase;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.action.Action;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.action.ParameterDefinition;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef;

public class MyCustomAction extends ActionExecuterAbstractBase {

   String sourceDir;
   String targetDir;
   
   @Override
   protected void executeImpl(Action arg0, NodeRef arg1) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      
   }

   @Override
   protected void addParameterDefinitions(List<ParameterDefinition> arg0) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      
   }

}

Can you please define your action in more detail!

If I understand this correctly, In your custom action you need to have UI from where you can select some target directly[may be your requirement to move or to take any other action].

For that you need to add paramter to your custom action and need to develop action handler.
You can check detailed example here - http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Action_UI

Hope it helps!
