Hi,

I have a jar file SimpleWebScript.jar in the folder "tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/lib" where there's the JAVA class org.alfresco.module.demoscripts.SimpleWebScript.java with the following code :


    public class SimpleWebScript extends DeclarativeWebScript {

       public SimpleWebScript() {
          
       }
       
       protected Map<String, Object> executeImpl(WebScriptRequest req,
             Status status) {
          Map<String, Object> model = new HashMap<String, Object>();
          model.put("hello", "Hello World");
          return model;
       }
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and then a file "simple.get.desc.xml" (in the folder tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/demo) :


    <webscript>
      <shortname>The World's Simplest Webscript</shortname>
      <description>Hands back a little bit of JSON</description>
      <url>/demo/simple</url>
      <authentication>none</authentication>
      <format default="">argument</format>
    </webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and to finish, the file "simple.get.html.ftl" (in the folder tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/demo) :


    <html>
       <head>
          <title>Hello World</title>
       </head>
       <body>
          ${hello}
       </body>
    </html>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for your help.

And i created a new file web-scripts-application-context.xml in the folder tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/org/springframework/extensions/webscripts :


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd'>

<beans>
      <bean id="webscript.org.alfresco.demo.simple.get" class="org.alfresco.module.demoscripts.SimpleWebScript" parent="webscript" />

Try to put your jar in the folder tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/lib.

Have you ever developed a webscript in JAVA ?

Thanks.

there is a way to create a generic structure of the eclipse for webscript written in Java instead of JavaScript? I found this link http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/SampleProject but does not speak of java becked webscripts.

Thanks…

Thanks for the link. Have you found another thing about webscript in JAVA ?

Re: Alfresco Share - Develop a webscript in JAVA

Hi,

no don't work for me webscript in java. Can you give me the your project? I try with your java sample project.

The ideal thing would be to find a sort of skeleton for the eclipse, which could represent a generic structure for java becked webscript can apply for any customization.

Then you should be able to build a generic build.xml file that generates the jar to be included in tomcat/shared/lib.

You have the documentation to do this for Alfresco Share 3.4+? I have found out only documents dated and confusing.

Thanks.

Look at my first posts at the beginning.

Hi,

I just wanted to check that you've seen the documentation at: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples ? The bean name starting with "webscript." is important and the following package structure needs to match the package structure of the other files associated with the WebScript, you also need to ensure that it ends in the appropriate REST method (e.g. ".get" or ".post").

For example a bean with the id "webscript.org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.index.get" will map to the WebScript "<store-home>/org/springframework/extensions/webscripts/index.get.desc.xml" (where <store-home> it the location at which the WebScript is found).

Hopefully this answers your question,

Regards,
Dave
