Java-backed web script

I followed these instructions https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples#SimpleWebScript.java. So I've tried to implement SimpleWebScript with Java. I impl

The description in my starting post refers to when files are deployed according to Alfresco Share Standalone. Now I'm not sure if my Alfresco is really Share Standalone but it is version 4.2f so it's newer than 3.3 (in the documents it says 3.3 or greater). However, I've tried to deploy the files according to the other instruction also. But when I start my server I get this error:

<blockquote>SEVERE: Allocate exception for servlet apiServlet
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'webscripts.authenticator.basic' is defined</quote>

Looks like Alfresco is reading my context file but something is going wrong. I think Alfresco can't load my bean and then stops loading all the other beans as well and throws that error because can't find the bean used for authentication. Just a guess it might be like this.

Maybe it does need the template to render any GET response…

Try the newer tutorial - I've used it on 4.2f, and works good.

Yes, it doesn't need a template but still it asking for one. I think it's because it's not running the execute method of the Java Class. Alfresco finds new web script from description file but not the execute method and that's why it's asking for the template. Anyway, I'm now trying out the tutorial you linked. I'll tell here how it goes. Thanks for the reply.

Hey,

thanks for the tutorial. I got it working right away. I will use this as an example for my own web script. Thanks a lot!
