Hi there,
i am new to the forum and to Alfresco Webscripts. I am workin on an Alfresco share as a support tool for my current project.

My first approach to webscripts is the typical helloworld: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Hello_World_Quick_Start

The result is that the sample webscript is Working in Alfresco, but Failing in Share, I need some help regarding this:

    Caused by: freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: Expression person is undefined on line 4, column 42 in hello-world
    /helloworld.get.html.ftl.

This is the webscript:
helloworld.get.desc.xml

    <webscript>
       <shortname>Hello World</shortname>
       <description>Hello World Dashlet</description>
       <family>user-dashlet</family>
       <url>/jaltest/helloworld</url>
       <transaction>required</transaction>
       <authentication>user</authentication>
    </webscript>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

helloworld.get.html.ftl

    <div class="dashlet">
    <div class="title">Hello World Title</div>
    <div class="body">
    <span>Hello World Body for : username: ${person.properties.userName}</span>
    </div>
    </div>‍‍‍‍‍‍

To deploy it:
1. Deploy In Alfresco: upload it to Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Scripts > jal And activate it with the 'refresh web scripts' button in http://alfrescosrvr:8080/alfresco/service/index
2. Deploy In Share: copy it to c:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\hello-world\ (default installation path of alfresco community on windows xp) And activate it with the 'refresh web scripts' button in http://alfrescosrvr:8080/share/service/index

If I delete the reference to the '${person.properties.userName}' it works correctly in Share. To be sure I am correctly authenticated into share, I paste the webscript URL in the browser after logging in Share.

Thank you very much for your help.

Javier.

Because Share is deployed remotely from the Repository, many objects aren't directly available - nodes and people being two of them.

Share provides a "user" object which is similar, but read-only.
