Web Script Sample example issue

[unknown-user]

Hello,

I am new to web scripts.I am unable to run the simplest script example, "Hello World", posted on this web link:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples, it would be greatly appreciated if someone can shed some light on what I've done wrong, missing or whatnot?

Under Company Home -> Data Dictionary -> Web scripts -> org -> alfresco -> sample, I've added two contents (files), hello.get.desc.xml and hello.get.html.ftl. Now when i try to run this script, i am getting the following error–

Web Script Status 500 - Internal Error

The Web Script /alfresco/service/sample/hello has responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

Try to save the webscript files into:
Company Home -> Data Dictionary -> Web Scripts Extensions

Then you must go to:
http://localhostort/alfresco/service/

And you must refresh all the webscripts.
Now you can retry to invoke this new webscript.

Hope this helps

Change the char encoding to UTF-8 under properties for the web script.Then this error doesn't appear.
