Hello ,im a begginer in alfresco 3.2r ,my task is to creat a content rule over a space , when i add a new document into the space ,a script(javascript) must be executed ,this JS must call a web application (either applet ,jsp or servlet) that handle a java class managing research over the document added into the space ..
i already created a applet for my java class ,but the problem ,is ,i don't know how to communicate with alfresco
in first place a tried to use a simple JS that open an simple html page :
i put in Company Home\Data Dictionary\Scripts this Javascript :
It sounds like you are writing a rule action that triggers some JavaScript. That JavaScript needs to invoke a service (a servlet) running elsewhere.
JavaScript that runs on the Alfresco server from the Scripts directory is server-side JavaScript. The sample you pasted in looks like client-side JavaScript (I see HTML tags and a window.document.write call).
You should look at the other scripts in the Scripts directory as well as the JavaScript API page on the wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API) for examples of what's possible.
In your case, you need to open a connection over the network to invoke a service running somewhere else. For that, I think your best bet is to forget JavaScript and instead use a Java-based Action Executor that does this using standard HTTP commons libraries. See http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-actions/actions-article.pdf for a tutorial on writing custom Java actions.
