                </config>                  
            </configurations>
        </module>
    </modules>
</extension>

And here my java action class:

public class SignSurfAction extends ActionExecuterAbstractBase  {
    @Override
    protected void executeImpl(Action action, NodeRef actionedUponNodeRef)  {
        try {
            //MY CODE
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            logger.debug("Servizio di firma non disponibile, impossibile proseguire l'azione",t);            
            throw new WebScriptException("Bla bla bla : " + t.getMessage(), t);
            //THERE IS A WAY TO PRINT THE MESSAGE OF THE EXECPTION ON A POPUP ON SHARE ?
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void addParameterDefinitions(List<ParameterDefinition> paramList) {        
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaProfilo", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, true, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaProfilo")));
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaTipoProfilo", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaTipoProfilo")));
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaTipo", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaTipo")));
        
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaUsername", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaUsername")));
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaPassword", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaPassword")));        
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaOtp", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaOtp")));
        
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaLuogo", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaLuogo")));
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaMotivo", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaMotivo")));
        paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl("firmaFirmatario", DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, false, getParamDisplayLabel("firmaFirmatario")));
    }
}

There is a way to print the exception message of java on the text of the failure message on the extensions module of share?

Greetings.

Alfresco provides the ability to define a "failure" parameter for the action which should be a function to handle any form submission failures. This function could extract the error message from the HTTP response (which should be your exception message in Java) and display it.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in the client-side JavaScript source code for alfresco.js (original Alfresco code) and the "success" parameter is actually mapped as the failureCallback function...
