Dictionary service

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Just wondering when (if ever) things like the dictionary service (specifically aspects, property definitions, etc) will be accessable from Web Scripts?
Will you be exposing a lot more of the Java stuff as JavaScript? Is there a sneaky way I can access more of the Java objects today, from the JavaScript API?

Yes.  You can expose additional Java code to JavaScript as Custom JavaScript Root object.   It's pretty easy.

Here is the wiki:

You can expose any of dictionary service's functionality that you need this way. 

As far as future - we are always enhancing our APIs, though through this easy extensibility mechanism, even if we don't expose the functionality you need, you can easily add it.
