Hello,I'm trying to write some simple webscripts but when I try to use response templates to return some dataI get a template exception : 05200035 Error during processing of the template Expression "expression" is undefined on line …For example:test.post.json.jsfunction main(){model.test = "Hello!";

You've specified the JavaScript controller as ".post.json.js" but this controller will only be used if the request content type is JSON.

i.e you need to add the ""Content-Type: application/json" header to your request.

In general, it's good practice in Freemarker templates to handle potentially missing variables, i.e.

${test!""}‍

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you Mike,
setting the header solved it. I somehow totally forgot about that ops:
