Same problem. Solved setting correct information in web-scripts-application-context.xml. Step by step:1) Webscript class must extends AbstractWebScript. My TestWebScript class returns a very simple JSON string:
package test.webscript;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.AbstractWebScript;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptException;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptRequest;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptResponse;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public class TestWebscript extends AbstractWebScript {
public void execute(WebScriptRequest req, WebScriptResponse res) throws IOException {
try {
// build a json object
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
// put some data on it
obj.put("field1", "data1");
// build a JSON string and send it back
String jsonString = obj.toString();
res.getWriter().write(jsonString);
} catch (JSONException e) {
throw new WebScriptException("Unable to serialize JSON");
}
}
}
2) Modify web-scripts-application-context.xml in <ALF_HOME>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco, adding at the end:
<bean id="webscript.org.alfresco.mywebscript.test1.get"
class="test.webscript.TestWebscript" parent="webscript">
</bean>
My test.webscript.TestWebscript class is packaged into a jar copied in <ALF_HOME>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib. Is important to understand the bean id:webscript.org.alfresco.mywebscript.test1.getThis id must always begin with 'webscript'. Then, org.alfresco.mywebscript represents (in dotted notation) the phisical path to find 'test1.get.desc.xml', starting in <ALF_HOME>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts. So, webscript.org.alfresco.mywebscript.test1.get means: there is a test1.get.desc.xml webscript definition file, in folder <ALF_HOME>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\mywebscript3) My test1.get.desc.xml looks like this:
<webscript>
<shortname>Alfresco Test WebScript</shortname>
<description>Hands back a little bit of JSON</description>
<url>/mywebscript/test1</url>
<authentication>none</authentication>
<format default="">argument</format>
</webscript>
Note that url element is the webscript path and name, as defined at point 2)Finally, pointing browser to http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/mywebscript/test1 I get a response page with JSON string ({"field1":"data1"} for this example)Hope this helpsBye, Marco
