Backoffice Action ClassNotFoundException

[eric_rosfelder]

Hello experts,

I'm currently trying to add a backoffice custom action (for Category) into my project and I've been following the action documentation (Creating an action & Using Actions in Widgets). I have a definition.xml file in the ressources folder, and my actionClass in the backoffice/src folder.

I've go no error on compilation, the server starts and run properly, but when i land on a Category i got a ClassNotFoundException ( The full Stacktrace at the end of the question). I've tried to move in different folders/changing the package of the action and so on.

Could you help me pointing what i missed or what i'm doing wrong ?

The Hybris Version 6.4

Files are as follow:

Hi,

the error is in where you located the definition.xml:

is: backofficeextension/resources/cockpitng/widgets/actions/clearproducts/definition.xml should be: backofficeextension/backoffice/resources/widgets/actions/clearproducts/definition.xml

Cheers, Wojtek

I think, there's a tiny typo here. Instead of ressources there should be resources with single s.

Hello Wojciech,

That fixed my problem too when creating my customized sync action but I have another problem, it's about getting another "Synchronize Action" appended to the list view bar on the Backoffice while all I need is one sync action using the implementation of my customized sync action class. Do you have any idea?

Thanks

Hi ,

I do it on daily basis and all works just fine. As you have obfuscated the code, it may be that you have some simple spelling mistake there. Please check it carefully - all looks fine in what you attached.

Cheers, Jacek

I also tried to add some properties like the "keywords" one to try to be the closer possible from some other action-definitions but without great success
