Hi,

You can write a Custom Javascript api implented in Java.

That method/api can be called in javscript and add it as a rule.
You can find Information about Adding Custom Script APIs here

In Java its perhaps easiest to create a policy/behaviour. Its what the rule service uses underneath the covers.

Thanks lementree.

Following you link i found this example that i believe is what i want to do (put javascriptAPI calling some class in JavaAPI):
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_the_ServiceRegistry_as_a_Javascript_Root_Object

I just have one small doubt, where (in what folder) do i place that class i created and what xmls must contain the bean in the given example?

By exploring the folders i think the bean must be placed here: Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\script-services-context.xml.

The Javascript code i the alfresco repository named Scrips?

Now the Java code i have no clue…

Hi,

You can [ut those class files with the package folder structure in tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes.

To map the webscript with the java class you need to add a xml file in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension
