Hi, While sending goal from an action roscpp client to roscpp action server, I use actionlib::SimpleActionClient<msg::abcaction> client("action_server_name",true); and then client.sendGoal(goal) sends goal to the "action_server_name". This works fine. Now I have a "action_server_name" running, I want to send the goal through a rosjava action client node. How is it done? If anyone has already done it? Action server in roscpp and action client rosjava communication and sending receiving goal, please share it with me. Thanks in advance. regards, safdar

There is an actionlib implementation for rosjava in rosjava_core: https://rosjava.googlecode.com/hg/actionlib_java/ and there are some examples buried in there, https://rosjava.googlecode.com/hg/actionlib_java/src/tutorials/java/org/ros/actionlib/example/ but it isn't documented on the wiki yet.

There is a ticket here for creating the documentation; you can comment or vote on it if you feel so inclined.

Hi, thanks , but this I have already done this. Actually the problem is that the java action client does not connect with action serve using its name. It only connects if the action server is listening on /goal action topic. I want to connect with different action CPP serves from one java program.
