'people' not defined - creating new users from external site

[gawabe]

Hi…
I am using alfresco community edition 3.3g… I created a new website using springsurf with alfresco as my repository. Now I need to have a registration page in that website. For that I planned to go with webscripts - javascripts API… Connected my website and alfresco by updating the surf.xml (http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/Spring+Roo)

Created new directory with the name registration under webscripts directory of my website..
Created 3 files: registration.get.desc.xml, registration.get.js and registration.get.html.ftl
registration.get.desc.xml

<webscript>
  <shortname>Registration Page</shortname>
  <description>Registration Page</description>
  <url>/registrationPage</url>
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

registration.get.js

var firstName = args.firstName;
var lastName = args.lastName;
var emailId = args.emailId;
var newUser = people.createPerson(firstName,lastName,emailId, true ,true);
newUser.save();‍‍‍‍‍

registration.get.html.ftl

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" action="${url.context}/dologin">
<table>
   <tr>
      <td>
         <h1>Registeration Form </h1>
      </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>
         <table>
            <tr>
               <td><b>First Name:</b></td>
               <td><input name="firstName" type="text" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td><b>Last Name:</b></td>
               <td><input name="lastName" type="text"/></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td><b>Email Id</b></td>
               <td><input name="emailId" type="text" /></td>
            </tr>
         </table>
      </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>
         <input type="submit" value="Register" />
         <input name="success" type="hidden" value="${url.context}" />
         <input name="failure" type="hidden" value="${url.context}/registration" />
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>
</form>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I can deploy and view my website in http://localhost:8081/mysite and I am  running alfresco in the port 8080..  I can retrieve the alfresco user details successfully and view them in my website. But there is some problem in creating new alfresco users..

When I click registration tab, I am getting an error as "people" is not defined..

The Web Script /mysite/service/registrationPage has responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

500 Description:    An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Why it is so? If I need to create an alfresco users from an external website, do I need to configure anywhere in alfresco? and is the dologin action in the ftl is correct?
Thanks…

I'm pretty new to Alfresco Web Script Framework but i'll try to give you my opinion….Maybe it works 

Try to modify your web script adding this part to the descriptor:

<authentication runAs="admin">guest</authentication>

In this way, the people root object you use in your script should be visible to the user which runs the web script.
