[EXAMPLE] Create folder structure (JSON format)

sufo — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:25:06 GMT

This example creates folder structure under the Company Home or if the path specified under the Company Home/path. Folder structure is received as JSON from HTTP POST. It ignores already existing folders so you can run it again and again just adding new items to the JSON structure.file: folders.pos

Sorry, I am completely lost, I have never contributed to the wiki. I have registered to the Alfresco wiki, but do not know how to create new article or category or how it is called.
I am working on a new project and plan to build full sort of various web scripts using JSON format to be used by a browser application using either Dojo or jQuery (not decided yet).
I have no problem to share my work, but it would help me if you have some link with explanation on how to create new article or category (and rules to be followed if there are any imposed by Alfresco).
I imagine something like: Web Scripts examples - JSON format

<format default="json">argument</format>
why here we need to put "argument" .. ?

Hi! I have tried your example but I have a problem: when I click on "Create folders" button I receive a null response.
In the log I have this exception:

To: SuryaBadami
You have to create the file (create-folders-test.html) and edit it to change the address to your alfresco server (url parameter for the dojo.rawXhrPost).
Then put it somewhere in your server. For Tomcat, just put it in [alfrescodir]/tomcat/webapps/ROOT and then open it like http://yourserver:8080/create-folders-test.html .

To: davidez
The html file which calls the webscript has to be on the same server as Alfresco (same domain to be exact) to avoid issues with cross-domain AJAX.
