sample Web Scripts in Alfresco 2.1

I'm currently trying out the new Web Script functionality in
Alfresco 2.1 RC.

The built-in Web Scripts (Keyword search etc.) seem to work,
but the samples in the Data Dictionary/Web Scripts for user
generated Web Scripts are not available.

They're not listed by
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index/all ,
and http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/blog/search?q=foo
results in a "Web Script Status 404 - Script url /sample/blog/search does not map to a Web Script.".

I'm running a fresh 2.1 RC installation (Linux, German locale)
Is there anything else to be done to activate the sample Web Scripts?

Also, it seems that in 2.1 RC there is code to apply Web Scripts
to Custom Views (see browse.jsp, ASPECT_WEBSCRIPTABLE),
but I do not see how to associate Web Scripts to a space or a document
using the Web Client (Apply Template only shows a list of FTL templates).
Will this functionality not yet be available in 2.1?

TIA & Cheers, Guido

Well spotted this functionality won't have any UI in 2.1. But you can execute a very simple JavaScript via URL to set a webscript as a nifty custom view for a space:

// example script to set the Document List webscript as the custom view for a node
// @param noderef    space to set webscript against as custom view
var dest = search.findNode(args["noderef"]);
dest.addAspect("cm:webscriptable");
dest.properties["cm:webscript"] = "/wcs/doclist";
dest.save();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Or this could be done programmatically using the Alfresco Java APIs - as you can easily see, it's just a matter of adding an aspect as a marker (which is what the BrowseBean looks for) and setting the webscript service path as a property of the aspect.

Thanks,

Kevin
