Creating an operation participant for a server action

We have a "work in progress" document detailing the steps for adding
precondition and follow-up actions for process enabled operations.
Please see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/PreconditionFollowupCreation

The deliver operation comes in both client and server "flavors".
client side id = "com.ibm.team.scm.client.deliver"
server side id = "com.ibm.team.scm.server.deliver"

I do not know of any explicit listing of operationIds.
The easiest way in 1.0 to get an operation id
1. go to the Process Configuration Source tab of your project area
editor
2. within the team configuration, go into the permissions or behavior
section
3. code complete for an operation id of the listed operations

When the "deliver" action is invoked I want to add an
operation participant to be run. How do I go abouts doing that? Where
are the ids for the actions documented?

Hi Darins
I have been through the wiki page you mentioned.

This is what I have in my plugin.xml

<plugin>
<extension point="com.ibm.team.process.service.operationParticipants">
<operationParticipant class="com.ibm.teami.scm.autoshadow.service.PerformAutoShadow" id="com.ibm.teami.scm.autoshadow.service.PerformAutoShadow"
name="AutoShadow"
operationId="com.ibm.teami.autoshadow">
<extensionService
componentId="com.ibm.teami.scm.autoshadow.service.PerformAutoShadow" implementationClass="com.ibm.teami.scm.autoshadow.service.PerformAutoShadow">
</extensionService>
</operationParticipant>
</extension>
</plugin>

Where do I need specify the action id that this should be applied to?

Thanks for the tip on how to find the ids.

Participants aren't action-specific. They're just bound to an operation
(which you've already specified).

I notice that your extension service declaration doesn't mention any
prerequisites. If your participant really doesn't use any services, this
is fine. But if you want to access any services you'll have to specify
them as prereqs. This doesn't seem to be explained yet in the
in-progress documentation linked above. But this is explained in the
JavaDoc on IOperationParticipant.

Hi Jared

When I added the prerequisites, I got an error saying "Element prerequisites is not legal as a child of element extensionService'.

This is what I really need... When the action "Deliver" is invoked from the client, I want the class PerformAutoShadow that I have defined to be run on the server after the deliver action. Don't I need to have com.ibm.team.scm.server.deliver mentioned in the xml, to indicate this PerformAutoShadow is an operation participant of Deliver?

The operation id is an additional attribute (operationId) on the
operationParticipant element.

The error you see could indicate that PDE can not access the required
schema files for the extensionService element. Our extension point
schema for operation participants references the 'extensionService.exsd'
schema file that resides in the 'schema' folder inside the
'com.ibm.team.repository.service' bundle.

The information "Element 'prerequisites' is not legal as a child of element 'extensionService'" is very confusing and misleading!!!
