calling a custom import component

Alpa

Hello Experts,

I have customised the import component as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<scope>

<component id="abc"

extends="import:webcomponent/config/library/contenttransfer/importcontent/import_component.xml">

</params>

<document-docbase-base-type>doc_import</document-docbase-base-type>

<document-docbase-type>doc_import</document-docbase-type>

<folder-docbase-type>custom_folder</folder-docbase-type>

<pages>

<start>

/webcomponent/library/contenttransfer/importcontent/importContent.jsp

</start>

<folder>/custom/jsp/library/contenttransfer/importcontent/importFolder.jsp

</folder>

</pages>

</component>

</scope>

</config>

I want to call this component from the ActionService.execute() method.

But the component is not being called.

Please tell me why the component is not being called.

keeping the component id as import changes the base import functionality and it works the way i want.....but i want the base import to work normal and only this custom import to behave according to the requirement. I am calling this custom import from a separate menu item.

Please please please reply.....

Found the solution.

Import component name "import" is hard-coded in container class hence it works only with name import.

You can call customized import by passing arguments component with name of customized import component.

Thank you for replying.....

I have followed this wdk6.5 tutorial for creating content transfer listener.

I am calling this listener component from menu item.

On the onclick event of the jsp page i am trying to call my custom import.

here are the xml files :

menu item

<scope>

<menuconfig

modifies="menubar_tools_menu:webcomponent/config/library/menubar/menubar_component.xml">

<actionmenuitem dynamic="genericnoselect" name="testListener"

id="testListener" value="Custom Import" action="custom_import_action"

showifinvalid="true" />

</insert>

</menuconfig>

</scope>

</config>

the listener component

<scope>

</params>

<pages>

<start>/custom/jsp/customimport/customimport.jsp

</start>

</pages>

<class>com.bayer.ast.customimport.CustomImportListener

</class>

<nlsbundle>com.bayer.ast.customimport.CustomImportNLS

</nlsbundle>

</component>

</scope>

</config>

The action file

<scope>

<component>customimport</component>

</execution>

</action>

</scope>

</config>

I am trying to call the custom import with ActionService.execute() method in the class CustomImportListener

Please help.....since this is working if i call normal import....

I dont have 6.5 installed (only 6.7), but the menuitem for import is

<actionmenuitem dynamic="generic" name="testListener"

id="testListener" value="Custom Import" action="custom_import_action"

showifinvalid="true" />

I tried same stuff but it didn't worked,

The ImportLIstener component which calls the customized import from onRender() by ActionService.execute doesn't open the import component rather it opens the jsp file which is for import listener.

The code is as below

public void onImportListener(Control ctrl, ArgumentList args){

ActionService.execute("abcaction", args, this.getContext(), this, new CallbackDoneListener(this, "onComplete"));

}

Below are the components and action files used by me:

listener action file
listener component file ( jsp file with one button, Component file onRender() calls ActionService.execute() method)
custom import component for setting default folder type and document type. COntains only jsp file no component file ( i.e. java file )

Observation:

If name of custom component is kept as import the customized import is called and listener acts only as caller and post import processing in onComplete() method.
but the default import also changes as the name of action and component is kept as import.
But if I change the name to something apart from import the listener code doesn't proceed beyond the jsp file.

Please let me know if this is problem of some permissions or can this be achieved by some other means.

This fucntionality is required only in one cabinet, can we scope the customized import of one cabinet and notmal import on other cabinets?
