Invoking LiveCycle ES Services from Custom Actions

Adobbe LiveCycle Content Services ES provides you with the ability to develop custom actions. A custom action can be used to invoke a LiveCycle ES service or process. This chapter focuses on the task of invoking a LiveCycle ES service from a custom action. (See Creating Custom Actions.)

To understand how custom actions can be used to invoke a LiveCycle ES service, consider the following scenario, which will be used as the basis for all code examples in this section.

Assume that you want to create a custom action that invokes a review and approval process created in LiveCycle Workbench ES.

The content model requires that you define a reviewer aspect that is available in the Content Services ES content model so that it can be applied by using the custom action in the repository.

A LiveCycle ES invocation class is needed to encapsulate the business logic to invoke the process from the custom action.

After you create the logic , you must package and deploy your custom action to Content Services ES.

The review and approval example discussed in this section shows how to create a custom action that invokes the LiveCycle ES process, and is based on a sample located within your SDK installation at \LiveCycle_ES_SDK\misc\ContentServices\adobe-contentservices-src.zip\process-samples.

Summary of steps

To develop a custom action, perform the following steps:

1.	Set up your development environment.

2.	Define your application logic.

3.	Define the user interface resources.

4.	Package and deploy the component.
