Webscript not running with post.json.js

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.

I am running a small example in Alfresco 3.2.  The issue I am running into is that I cannot call the script if the javascript file ends in post.json.js, but can if it ends in post.js. 

If I call http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/hmm/testIssue?alf_method=post with the javascript file ending in post.json.js I get the following sort of error.

'Expression results is undefined on line 2, column 18 in testIssue\/test-issue.post.json.ftl.'

Is there something I should add to get that.  It looked like it should be possible when reading http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Request_Processing.

test-issue.post.desc.xml

<webscript>
  <shortname>Test Webscript</shortname>
  <description>Test webscript for result</description>
  <url>/hmm/testIssue</url>
  <format default="json"/>
  <authentication>user</authentication>
</webscript>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

test-issue.post.js (what I wanted as test-issue.post.json.js)

function main(){
   model.results = "hello";
}
main();
‍‍‍‍‍‍

test-issue.post.json.ftl

{
    "results":"${results}"
              
}

When your client POSTs to the webscript, make sure the Content-Type header is set to "application/json" and the body contains a valid JSON string.

Thanks,
