An alternative approach would be to create a scoped config variable which is accessible from javascript and Freemarker. See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Global_and_Scoped_Config In webscript-framework-config-custom.xml create your own section (don't use the tag <server> since it is reserved). Try something like <shareserver>. Use the generic access method.

Thanks, that approach is however only available to webscripts. For this particular case, it is javascript for cifs desktop actions. It doesn't even have the root scoped objects like companyhome available.

I resolved it by


var companyhome = search.findNode("path", ['workspace','SpacesStore','app:company_home']);
var shareurlsetting = companyhome.childByNamePath('/Data Dictionary/Loftux/ShareUrl');
if(shareurlsetting!=null){
   var servercontext = shareurlsetting.properties["title"];
}else{
   var servercontext = "http://localhost:8080/share"
}

The object ShareUrl is just a content less file i space "Loftux", where I use title to store my setting. Note how I had to create my own companyhome object.
