Change your helloword.get.desc.xml to
<webscript>
      <shortname>Hello World</shortname>
      <description>Hello world web script</description>
      <url>/helloworld?name={nameArgument}</url>
      <authentication>user</authentication>
      <transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>

It should work.

Thanks for the reply joe. That worked !! . I am learning about webscripts and had followed the article "Intro to the Web Script Framework" by Jeff Potts on http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series . But he doesnt have the authentication and transaction tag in his example.
Could you please tell me why those tags are required ?

Thanks a lot .
