You would write a new webscript in the /alfresco context (i.e. the Repository) and then POST the details from Share to it.

Thanks,

Thanks Mike for the reply.
If I prepare a new webscript that will update my document, how can I call that webscript from here.

onCreateFormSubmitSuccess : function c(i, j) {
                     
                                                        // webscript call from here. I have the nodeRef in this.docNodeRef variable

                     this.widgets.editor.clear();
                     YAHOO.Bubbling.fire("refreshComments", {
                        reason : "created"
                     });
                     this.enableInputs()
                  },‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

File -> createcomment-min.js

Thanks and Regards,
Sanket Mehta.

There are plenty of examples throughout Share - search for "Alfresco.util.Ajax"

Thanks,
