topic Executing code from the web client in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/executing-code-from-the-web-client/m-p/15008#M6539 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Something I've found useful when developing with Alfresco is the ability to execute different sorts of code from the web client. Sometimes its nice to be able to run some code against the repository without having to set up complex test data in a unit test or run a remote client.
