Hi Marius,
thanks, I'm one step further now, at least the NameManager now does
renaming in general (it renamed itself until I added an #if clause to not
do so).
I wanted to implement it step by step so I didn't add the redirect yet.
But the sheet is not executed when editing application entries.
Meanwhile I have the following.
Test App.Code.Test AppSheet:
```
[...]
#set( $nameManRef = $services.model.createDocumentReference('', ['Test
App', 'Code'], 'Test App NameManager') )
#set( $nameMan = $xwiki.getDocument($nameManRef) )
<div class="hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="xredirect" value="$doc.getURL('view',
"sheet=${escapetool.url($nameMan)}")" />
</div>
{{/html}}
{{/velocity}}
```
Test App.Code.Test App NameManager:
```
{{velocity}}
#if ( $doc.name != 'Test App NameManager' )
#set ($renameRequest =
$services.refactoring.createRenameRequest($doc.documentReference, 'Now
RENAMED'))
#set ($discard = $renameRequest.setAutoRedirect(false))
$services.refactoring.rename($renameRequest)).join()
#end
{{/velocity}}
```
Thanks again,
Dennis
