Hello

I had downloaded alfresco 3.4.c and successfully added few custom dashlets helloworld and weather dashlet.
I need to write a java backed dashlet. I am trying from last 2 days without success.
Can not figure out where to place the class file of SimpleWebScript in share/webinf/classes or alfresco/webinf/classes.

Sample code of java backed dashlet will help.

Can anybody plz share sample code……

I was tring to add following sample:

package org.alfresco.module.demoscripts;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractWebScript;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptException;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptRequest;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptResponse;

public class SimpleWebScript extends AbstractWebScript {
   public void execute(WebScriptRequest req, WebScriptResponse res)
         throws IOException {
      try {
         // build a json object
         JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();

         System.err
               .println("*************************************************");
         System.err.println("Rahul is here");
         System.err
               .println("*************************************************");
         // put some data on it
         obj.put("field1", "data1");

         File f = new File("C:\\Users\\rasharma\\Desktop\\test.txt");
         FileOutputStream fop = new FileOutputStream(f);

         if (f.exists()) {
            String str = "This data is written through the program";
            fop.write(str.getBytes());

            fop.flush();
            fop.close();
            System.out.println("The data has been written");
         }

         else
            System.out.println("This file is not exist");

         // build a JSON string and send it back
         String jsonString = obj.toString();
         res.getWriter().write(jsonString);
      } catch (JSONException e) {
         throw new WebScriptException("Unable to serialize JSON");
      }
   }
}
