Does WebScript provide callback?

Hi,

I have written a webscript which gives me a string as result. Now i want to show it on my custom dashlet.

For this does Alfresco provides any kind of callback methods for webscripts so that result of webscript execution can be accessed via these methods & manipulated.  :?:

Its urgent.

The way I do this is by returning json from my web script.  In the dashlet controller you can call your web script and generate the html for display in the dashlet.  Here is an example of an OOTB dashlet controller (site-links):

function sortByTitle(link1, link2)
{
   return (link1.title > link2.title) ? 1 : (link1.title < link2.title) ? -1 : 0;
}

function main()
{
   var site, container, theUrl, connector, result, links;
   
   site = page.url.templateArgs.site;
   container = 'links';
   theUrl = '/api/links/site/' + site + '/' + container + '?page=1&pageSize=512';
   connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
   result = connector.get(theUrl);
   if (result.status == 200)
   {
      links = eval('(' + result.response + ')').items;
      links.sort(sortByTitle);
      model.links = links;
      model.numLinks = links.length;
     model.tags=links.tags;
   }
}
