Action Configuration

The actions are defined with action element in the MoreMotion configuration. The definition must be made in global configuration files. See Global Configuration versus Page Configuration.

  <action name="myaction">
    <class>mypack.MyActionService</class>
    <accessControl/>
    <unitname/>
    <log logger="" level=""/> (since v5.0, "debug" element deprecated)
    <param name="myparam1">myparam1 value</param>
  </command>

The nested Elements

class Element

or with custom element
