I believe getTicket() may only work when you are in repository tier JavaScript, not Share-tier JavaScript. To test this, on Alfresco 4.0.d I created a little dashlet and did a session.getTicket() call in my controller. I saw the same result that you did. Then, I created a repository tier web script and used the same call to get the ticket successfully.

So, one way to get the ticket to your dashlet would be to create a repository tier web script that returns the ticket as JSON:

function main()
{
   model.sessionTicket = session.getTicket();
}
main();‍‍‍‍‍

The view would look like:

<#escape x as jsonUtils.encodeJSONString(x)>
{
   "ticket": "${sessionTicket}"
}
</#escape>‍‍‍‍‍

Then, you could call the repo tier web script from your share tier web script, like this:

function main()
{
    var json = remote.call("/example/get-ticket");

    if (json.status == 200)
    {
        obj = eval('(' + json + ')');
        model.result = obj;
    }
}
main();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And the view could then snag the ticket like this:

<span>TICKET</span>: <span>${result.ticket}</span>‍

Hope that helps,

Jeff

Jeff,
Thank you for your prompt and enlightening response.

I have confirmed that session.getTicket() does in fact work in a repo tier webscript.

Again, thank you for your quick and accurate response.

Hi Jeff, can you explain a bit more, please, where to put the "repository tier web script" (exact location), and make it callable from share tier web script?


remote.call("/example/get-ticket")

Thanks
Wojciech

I've created new directory "example" in:


/opt/alfresco-4.2.e/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/repository
‍‍‍

and 3 new files:


get-ticket.get.desc.xml  get-ticket.get.js  get-ticket.get.json.ftl
‍‍‍

my web script is available at:


http://localhost/alfresco/s/example/get-ticket
‍‍‍

and I can make a call from share tier web script:


var json = remote.call("/example/get-ticket");
