Hi,
I currently am trying to add an action on a certain soft-type of WTDocument to allow starting a workflow with this object as PBO.
I'm able to add the action in the UI "pointing" to a jsp and after some study, determined that using the OOTB "start-worflow" webject is the best thing to do (but if you have another solution, I'm always interested).
But how to get and pass the parameter needed by this webject in a jsp ? (meaning : I don't even have a clue on how to do it). Indeed, My action will be added directly in the list of choices (with check-out, check-in, download, setstate, etc... actions).
I'm not a professionnal programmer and still learning but any help will be appreciated.
Edit : I didn't told that I were on ProjectLink 9.1M050.
Sincerely,
Thibault Magné
Hi,
I don't know if my question is not clear of if it is too complicated. I'm still investigating on this but any help would be greetly appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you very much for this clues. I'll investigate the Customizer's guide to create the form processor.

I'm sorry to ask some precisions.
Indeed, I added a new action (actions and actionmodels) for the WTDocument type. Added then the corresponding items into the rbInfo file.
Linked it to a simple formprocessor with a doOperation() printing the console.
But when I compile and deploy the cutomizations the new item doesn't show into the "action" menu of WTDocument.
Note : in the attachements files, action I try to create is named "test"
I'm sorry to "beg" for some help, but customizer's guide is quite imprecise on that point (in my point of view though).

First, I would like to thank you for your answers !
The advices you provided will allow me to investigate further and to identify why this actions doesn't show.
I didn't know the &jcaDebug option and in this case (and others) it will be very useful.
I reloaded the action model and resource file correctly I think : rb corresponding classes and recompiled with success.
During testing, I modify OOTB files, but as soon I get something working, I put it into customization folder correctly (wtCustom, action*, etc.)
Thanks again !
edit : Thank to your remarks, I managed to add the action. Now I'm trying to launch the workflow. Which is the "best practice" to do it ? Using webjects, i*e task or directly java code (if this is the last, which class or package may I use ?).

I finally managed to create a new action, hook it in the UI , make it lauch a workflow and even create a new filter with business logicto disable this action based on certain criterias.
Thank you very much for your help : I learned much about UI, validation, etc.
