Accessing the Image Content

sowmiya — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:00:57 GMT

I am new to handle the Web Scripts. I tried with the simple web script to access the image content. Here is my sample code of that.image.get.desc.xml<webscript> <shortname>Image</shortname> <description>Image description</description> <url>/image</url&

You have to configure your Web Script for a Guest Access:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Authenticating

In this way you can access to this webscript without authentication, but all the contents must be stored in the Guest Home space in Alfresco.

So you need to add the following element in your descriptor image.get.desc.xml:


<webscript>
<shortname>Image</shortname>
<description>Image description</description>
<url>/image</url>
<authentication>guest</authentication>
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And then you have to invoke this webscript using a guest parameter in this way:


<a href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/image?guest=true" > click to view the image</a>
‍‍‍

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply OpenPj

As per you said, I created the content in Guest Home Space and tried accessing the content straight away by the url
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/96d3871f-0e45-42c2-a34d-21bef469a4ca/homeSmiley.gif?guest=true

Its working fine

But when i try to give the same guest=true for the web script that access the content which i mentioned above, its not working . I dont know what is the reason behind it. Web script url is http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/image?guest=true

Please tell me why that is not working.
