Use this http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Adding_Custom_Script_APIs
or that http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Native_Java_API_Access to make your Java API available in scripts.

Hey Lothar,

Thanks for the reply. Ok I had a look at those posts and I think all my configuration is set up fine.

However when I try to run things from Javascript I get problems.

My bean definition looks like this :

<beans>
    <bean id="myServiceBean" class="com.company.service.MyService">
        <property name="extensionName">
            <value>myService</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then on the java script side of things I do the following :

var result = myService.doSomething();
alert(result);‍‍

But when I do this I get an error message saying : myService is undefined

Am I missing a step, do to have to import some reference to the service bean I created on the javascript side, or initialise it or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems like your myService is not registered properly.
Where you have done that entry?
also that bean should contain the API called doSomething().

I think what mitpatoliya meant was, that you need to define your bean with a parent:


<bean id="myServiceBean" class="com.company.service.MyService" parent="baseJavaScriptExtension">
        <property name="extensionName">
            <value>myService</value>
        </property>
</bean>
