Which version of Alfresco you are using.
In 3.2 tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/ folder has the bootstrap scripts and
if you drop your webscripts into
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts, then it should pick the webscripts
after a refresh of the webscripts

Anything you put on the extensions folder will definitely get picked only after restart.
If you drop your webscripts into
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts
Then a refresh will serve the purpose.
As I told earlier, tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/ folder has the bootstrap scripts
so anything you drop in that folder will get picked up only at restart.

It's never a good idea to modify files inside the deployed webapp folder; as soon as the .war file gets redeployed all your changes will be lost!

Instead, replace webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\ with shared\ and deploy your webscript there.

Thanks,

Hi guys,
i'm using alfresco 3.0 labs and i have a similar problem with loading webscripts.
I placed some webscripts in class path folder: {Alfresco_installation}\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension\templates\webscripts. My webscripts are organized like folderx/foldery/webscript-file.
I am not able to load this webscripts even restarting alfresco. I have moved the webscripts outside the folder structure without results. Moving the webscripts to {Alfresco_installation}\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts works.
I have other things under {Alfresco_installation}\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco including configuration file and webscripts.
Any idea?
It is possible that the two directory:
- {Alfresco_installation}\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension\templates\webscripts
- {Alfresco_installation}\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts
clash in some way? I mean the classpath relative path is the same.

Any help would appreciated.
