Invoke Button to open WDK Component - Taskspace

Hi,

I have been researching about how to open a WDK Component from a Invoke Button and from 6.5, Forms Builder let the developer to select the action that runs the component. My question is how to implement the java code in order to launch the jsp page associated with my wdk component. It would be great if anyone has a java code example.

Furthermore, my objetive is to have a readonly table with custom objects (with no parent class) and have some buttons to add new elements in the readonly table or edit existing elements. The pages for editing and adding new elements would be WDK components so it is important to pass parameters like the ID of the selected row of the read only table.

Thanks!

You can call custom action from the invoke button. You would create jsp page like any other wdk component. Read the WDK Development Guide for more details.

Johnny,

Thanks for answering.

I have already built the WDK Component. I'm stuck in the point of creating the action.

The function for execution

public boolean execute(String strAction, IConfigElement config,

ArgumentList arg, Context context, Component component, Map returnMap)

return a boolean value and as far as I understand, the Invoke Button is configured to call an action. So, the call to open this component by URL would be made in the java code?

Since you already have WDK action defined, then all you need to do is to configure it so that it can be called by Taskspace. See this design pattern on xCP Design Patters:

Hi Johnny,

sorry for jumping in here. Is it possible to have an action that opens an electronic form within TaskSpace as opposed to a WDK action?

Can we extend/add to the components found in webapps\taskspace\taskspace\config\xforms?

Hoo,

You should know better, dont jump in on someone else's thread - its bad etiquette. Just start a new thread.

Hi Johnny,

I've created a component and followed the instructions that you mentioned in the link but my invoke button is still grayed. I would really apreciate if you please guide me..
