Invoking web script from dashlet without authentication

[santoso_n]

Hi all,


I've made a simple dashlet containing a link to my web script and my web script requires user authentication.

my questions are :
1. on my ftl file, how do I refer to current url.context? (e.g. in my default installation, it is /alfresco). I've tried ${url.context}, but url isn't recognized.
2. If I click on the link on my dashlet, the browser always try to authenticate, even though I already logged in to alfresco. How do I invoke my web script without the browser request for authentication?


Thanks in advance,

Santoso

Which URL prefix are you using in the link for your Web Script?  My guess is "/alfresco/service" or "/alfresco/s", in which case you might consider "/alfresco/wcservice" or "/alfresco/wcs" - see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Script_Runtimes#Pre-defined_web_script_URL_mappings for more details.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot!! That explains why in the existing dashlet, the webscript url is "/wcs/…", which I didn't understand at the first time.

One more question
my jsp refers to a free marker template :

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/repo.tld" prefix="r" %>

<%– Note that this template is loaded from the classpath –%>
<r:template template="/alfresco/templates/sanz/hello.html.ftl" />
‍‍‍‍‍‍

my ftl :

<p>Invoke <a href="/alfresco/wcs/sanz/hello">test</a> web script</p>
‍‍‍

The thing is I have to hard code my context path (i.e. /alfresco), I tried to use ${url.contextPath}
but I got this error :
Error during processing of the template 'Expression url is undefined on line 4, column 22 in alfresco/templates/sanz/hello.html.ftl.'. Please contact your system administrator.

How do I get the context path value in my ftl?


Thanks,

Santoso
