POST request becomes GET request after authentication using

ajansen

I am using web scripts to create content in Alfresco:

<webscript>
<shortname>Content Create Sample</shortname>
<description>Sample</description>
<url>/test/createcontent</url>
<format default="html">extension</format>
<authentication>user</authentication>
<transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>

This is working OK, when a user is not logged the basic browser prompt is hown and the script continues.
Now I customized the login to use the webclient instead of basic authentication in the web.xml:

   <servlet>
      <servlet-name>apiServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptServlet</servlet-class>
      <init-param>
         <param-name>authenticator</param-name>
         <param-value>webscripts.authenticator.webclient</param-value>
      </init-param>
   </servlet>

What happens when a user is not logged in the standard alfresco login page is displayed but the web script is not running correctly after successful login. From the log I retrieved this error:

Is this a bug or am I missing something ?

If you want to use the web-client login you should go through the /wcservice url rather than the /service url then it will use the correct authenticator for the webscript.

Thanks,

Kevin

I also have to add content to alfresco with webscripts.
Can you tell me how your webscript works or post your webscript here?

Thanks in advance

kevinr

We have some really neat example webscripts in the as Alfresco iGoogle Gadgets - they are small and easy to understand webscripts with features including file Upload.

Download them from here - take a look at the upload.* files.

Thanks for your reply Kevin. I think that these examples will help me but I can't get them to work. I have tried the folder create example. I call it with:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/aggadget/createfolder?fdrnodeid=85ff2f36-a955-11dc-9587-638858d7a569&returl=http://www.test.nl

I get the form. When I post the form I get this error message that formdata is not defined.

I found it. Formdata is only avaible for 2.1 enterprise. I was using the 2.1 community.
Is this object availble in an other community version or only in the enterprise?

kevinr

It is available in any of the 2.9 builds up on sourceforge (or a nightly build).

Thanks,

Kevin

steve_tekell

so formdata isn't available as a javascript root object in community 2.1
Is there a workaround to get at this some other way?

thx

kevinr

No, just to grab a more recent build.
