Firstly, I'm not a web script expert by any stretch of the imagination - I am just learning myself.

However, you may find that the sample folder web script will provide a starting point. This is accessible at:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/folder/Company%20Home

You can list all the working webscripts available at:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index

The source for the sample scripts are in the repository under Data Dictionary > Web Scripts.

The tutorial,"Intro to the Web Script Framework", is a great way to get started. This is available at:

Hope this helps.

Hey kayan,

I use Lucene to get a recursive list of all the subfolders. Be carefull, a recursive search in the Company Home folder uses a lot of resources if your data grows. The dubble slash with star indicates "all recursive children":

children = search.luceneSearch("PATH:\"/app:company_home//*\"");‍
