I have several questions about webscriptportlet:

does the webscript myspaces take into consideration the user athenticated ie does ut only display the spaces taht the user has the right to see?

ANSWER: Yes. Any access point into Alfresco (UI, FTP, CIFS, API) always respects security settings.

Does the webscript portlet can be deployed in lifreay as a standalone portlet ? If yes does someone have indications about how to do it?

ANSWER: Not sure of that one specifically, but remember that WebScripts are URL-based access points into Alfresco. There's no specialised portlet that's required to integrate them.

Does the portletauthenticator that is on the svn supports cas sso?

thanks in advance

Yes the webscript portlets will be available for Liferay as individual standalone portlets. Note that due to the JavaScript libraries we use, only Liferay 4.3 will be supported. We will provide wiki instructions on deploying the alfresco.war to liferay for 2.1 final release (as we have recently made some fixes to get them working).

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi everybody,

I using liferay 4.3.1 and Alfresco 2.1, I create a JSR 168 Alfresco portlet with Webscript. In this webscript, I have a link to other webscript. When I click on this link, I have a horrible error:

aught exception & redirecting to status template: Failed to execute script '/storage/tomcat-6.0_liferay-4.3.1/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/test.post.js': Failed to execute script '/storage/tomcat-6.0_liferay-4.3.1/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/test.post.js': Wrapped org.alfresco.service.namespace.NamespaceException: Namespace prefix alfresco is not mapped to a namespace URI (AlfrescoScript#9)

Anyone knows why I have this error???

Thanks a lot!!

What's in your test.post.js script?

I have two webscripts: test.get and test.post.

The first one takes a parameter (GET), the Alfresco directory or space we want to access. So, if you have permission you can choose several options in a menu. If you click on one of these options, you access to test.post webscript.

The second one only present (using Freemarker) contents of space you have chosen.

If you try to execute the webscripts whitout portlets (simple web), its are running correctly. If you try with JSR 168 portlets, you have this error.

I see at webscript debug log that the first access (test.get) execute WebScriptPortlet class. The second access (test.post) execute WebScriptServlet class. That's normal, no?

Any idea? Thanks a lot! Regards,

When generating references to webscript urls in your response template you can make use of the following template methods…

scripturl
clienturlfunction

as described here… http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#.22Response.22_Templates

These ensure your webscript urls are correctly rendered regardless of which environment the web script is executed in (e.g. JSR-168).

Thanks for your quick answer!!

However, I don't understand who can I use "clienturlfunction" in Freemarker and what can i obtain with it. Please, can anyone put an example using this function?

Thanks a lot!! Regards,

clienturlfunction is only required if you you wish to issue urls directly from the browser (e.g. in an AJAX context).

An example can be found in myspaces.get.html.ftl.

Hi Everybody!

I have tried to create a simple external portlet based on WebScriptPortlet class. The problem is that I cannot use the WebScriptPortletResponse class, because the constructor is not visible. I don't know if it's a bug or not. Can anyone notice me about another way to obtain the response in the portlet, please??

Here you can see the code:


    private class WebScriptPortalRuntime extends WebScriptRuntime
    {
     …..
        protected WebScriptResponse createResponse()
        {
         return new WebScriptPortletResponse(res); <- ERROR
        }
     …..
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks so much!!

What are you trying to achieve?

I think a step-backwards is required here. You shouldn't need to be messing around with these classes unless you're attempting something obscure.

Ok, I want to connect liferay and Alfresco (authentication problems solved) using webscript (so, using WebScriptPortlet class). I cannot use exactly your WebScriptPortlet code because I need:

+ to obtain other information from Liferay, for example, portal name, id user,…

+ to connect (using HTML hyperlinks) webscripts between them. For example, sending args (PRE or POST) from one to other. So we need to change and modify the URL from the hyperlinks. Example:

Before:

<a href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/wcservice/test2?path=Home+company">…</a>‍

After:

<a href="http://localhost:8080/?urlScript=/alfresco/168s/test2&_AlfrescoTest_WAR_alfresco_path=Home+company">…</a>‍

That's why I have to do this portlet.

Any advice? Thanks a lot!
