I have created a java action that opens up a web address. I have attached the button to my form and connected to a microflow that runs the action to open the address that is passed to it. However the action does not work when i press the button. When i then re deploy the application the website is opened. I am not sure what i have done wrong. I think it maybe how i am calling as the java code obviously works as it opens the site. Here is my code anyways. // This code is generated by the Mendix Business Modeler version 2.4.5. // The following code will be retained when actions are regenerated: // - the import list // - the code between BEGIN USER CODE and END USER CODE // - the code between BEGIN EXTRA CODE and END EXTRA CODE // Other code you write will be lost the next time you deploy the project. // Special characters, e.g., é, ö, à, etc. are supported in comments. package cmdb.actions; import com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.UserAction; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URI; import java.awt.Desktop; import java.net.URISyntaxException; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; /** * Opens the given web address */ public class OpenWebsite extends UserAction<Boolean> { private String UrlAddress; public OpenWebsite(String UrlAddress) { super(); this.UrlAddress = UrlAddress; } @Override public Boolean executeAction() throws Exception { // BEGIN USER CODE if(UrlAddress != null) { java.awt.Desktop myNewBrowserDesktop = java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop(); java.net.URI myNewLocation = new java.net.URI(UrlAddress); myNewBrowserDesktop.browse(myNewLocation); } return true; // END USER CODE } /** * Returns a string representation of this action */ @Override public String toString() { return "OpenWebsite"; } // BEGIN EXTRA CODE public void OpenWebAddress(String OpenAddress) throws URISyntaxException, IOException { java.awt.Desktop myNewBrowserDesktop = java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop(); java.net.URI myNewLocation = new java.net.URI(OpenAddress); myNewBrowserDesktop.browse(myNewLocation); } // END EXTRA CODE }
