Call a web service from a script

[andrew99]

Hi

I would like to know how to call a web service from a script? Or how to access an external database to insert a record, from a script? My alfresco version is community 2.1.

Thanks for your help.

Not entirely sure about 2.1 since its "before my time".   However if you have a Java backed script it can do anything, including using JDBC, a http client or a web service client.

You can take a look at how to implement a Java-Backed WebScript from the following page:

Hope this helps.
