Hi,

I tried to implement a webscript with search engine friendly urls, i.e. parameters in as path elements. I couldn't make it work so a created a really simple example which still does not provide the parameter in the javascript:

testsefurl.get.desc.xml:

<webscript>
  <shortname>Test</shortname>
  <description>Test</description>
  <url>/test/{id}</url>
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

testsefurl.get.js:

model.result = args.id;
‍‍

testsefurl.get.html.ftl:

<html>
<body>
${result}
</body>
</html>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Accessing http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/test/1234 returns an error that the result is undefined - the problem is that the parameter is not passed to the args array in the javascript.

I am using the 2.9C nightly and I am wondering if I stumbled on a bug or if I missed some detail in the webscript definition.

Regards,
Florian

1234 is not an argument, its the url.extension

For this to work your Javascript should read:

model.result = url.extension;‍

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#url

Ok thanks, now I understand how the matching works. So only the part of the url up to the first parameter is used to match the webscript, everything else becomes the extension. And only the url parameters after the "?" separator are parsed into the args array.

That also means that it's not possible to create two separate scripts for these two urls:


test/{id}/show
test/{id}/edit
‍‍‍‍

Whichever script is registered first will be called in both cases. I don't need that right now but I somehow expected that it would work.

You wouldn't be able to register those two urls. As they wouldn't be considered unique.

That kind of mapping is something we're considering.
