 Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 7:20 pm Post subject: Extending Save action for a mime-type |
 |
|
Hi,
I have written a small module that adds an additional menu option to
files of a specific mime-type. What I would like to do is extend the
Save action for the mime-type to execute the same Action code. Is their
a Simple way to achieve this.
Cheers

It is depend on how you link the SaveCookie to YourDataObject to Your MIME-TYPE.
If you follow the as above (SaveCookie-DataObject-MIME-TYPE), the
already build in SaveAction should work automatically depending on the
Lookup, you do not need to do something special for it. The way
particular object is saved/persisted usually is on the helper class
for the DataObject.eg: YourDataObjectSupport.java, but it might be
different depend on how you architecture the things :)
If you want to add another menu entry for saving eg: SaveAs or Save
Special, just add a new Action that call your dataobject/lookup the
SaveCookie and execute it eg:
on your Action actionPerformed/performAction method you can call something like
SaveAsCookie cookie = yourDataObject.getCookie(SaveCookie.class);
cookie.save();

Hi,
Thanks for the response but this does not quite fit my scenario. What I have done is write some addition functionality for the bpel file extension and at the moment I can only execute this by selecting the new context menu option for bpel files. What I would like to do is have the same Action executed whenever a bpel file is saved. So this is a case of adding my Action to the existing SaveCookie functionality of the bpel module.
Cheers
Andrew

Remember that SaveCookie is only an interface, the real implementation
on how to save the things is defined somewhere (usually it is in the
helper class of your dataobject). So you can invoke your addtional
action by putting that into the implementation of the SaveCookie.
Note: I am not familiar with bpel module/projects, so take it as a
grain of salt.
This become problem if bpel is not under your control, you are only
using/linked with that module.
The possibilty might be reduced into
- bpel provide public API to attach you additonal custom things, maybe
you can ask the bpel developers to provide such public API
- Or remove the registered bpel stuff from the system eg: layer.xml,
attach your own bpel things that basically just inherit from the bpel
and overide only the necessary methods eg: save function, so you end
up with minimal code
I am also interested in another ways to accomplish the above, any ideas ?
