How call external url from back-end js webscript

[jamilnour]

Hello,

I want to call an External URL as POST from my server js webscript

I tried with the predefined Surf remote variable but I have "remote not found" error

Thank you

By default, the remote object is disabled for repository tier web scripts. But you can always re-enable it. Take a look at this post on Stack to see if it helps you out: web scripting - HTTP Request from WebScript in Alfresco - Stack Overflow

This has also been covered in a post on the old forums which has been migrated to the new Jive platform.

Hi Axel,

Can you tell me where to add this webscripts.container bean?

Thanks

Any file on the classpath ending in context.xml. Ideally you already have an amp project started and you can add it to service-context.xml or similar.

After adding the webscripts.container bean to the service-context.xml inside my amp I have an exception (related to Solr!!!). Note that when I remove the webscripts.container the server is back and work well. Any conflict?

Thank you

Jamil
