Hi all,I'm facing the following challange: I've a GET web-script that returns a set of documents from a Javabacked script in Share. The documents will be displayed in a table to the user. Now, the user is able to select from a dropdown a number of documents that should be displayed (pre-defined as:

Nobody has a clue?
Maybe let me explain it in a different way on the use-case:

I've a GET webscript that displays a table with 10 documents (name, title, description, originator) to the user. Now the user is able to select from a dropdown (near the table) a different number of documents he wants to see, let's say 50 for example. If he has selected the new value he submits the formular.
Now, I want to receive the value to query the database with it (compare above to the snippet "function execute(jsonString)").
It all works fine. I receive the value in my POST webscript, I'm able to query the db and I'm able to provide the new results as JSON in the POST webscript (resultObject["searchResults"]; above).
But now: How do I get the result back to the GET webscript where the presentation is already implemented? I don't think the solution can be to duplicate the myshare.get.html.ftl and rename it to myshare.post.html.ftl so that I have to maintain the presentation logic always twice?

Am I wrong with my approach? What is an approach to solve such a request?

Call same get script with parameters to limit your results

Why have you got two web scripts? If you use multiple scripts then you will need to persist data somewhere so you can work on it. In a single get script the script controller brings together the data from various sources before displaying the result.
