Using remote endpoint in repository (not share) webscript

loftux

I need to fetch external data in the repository, that is call http://example.com/fetch/some/json.
I need this both for a webscript (trigger manually) and a scheduled action.

In Share this is easy for webscripts via declaring remote endpoints. But how do I in the best way fetch external data repository side? I would prefere a way to do this with javascript.
There seem to be an older "left over" script here
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/cmis/repo?service=servername
It uses var conn = remote.connect("alfresco"); but throws an error  org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError - ReferenceError: "remote" is not defined.

So I guess remote object is not available, can it be enabled? If so, can it be made available to a scheduled action as well?

Hello,

I think enhancing the webscripts.container bean should do the trick, e.g.

<blockcode>
  <bean id="webscripts.container" class="org.alfresco.repo.web.scripts.RepositoryContainer" parent="webscripts.abstractcontainer">
      <property name="name"><value>Repository</value></property>
      <property name="scriptObjects">
         <map merge="true">
           <entry key="paging">
              <ref bean="webscripts.js.paging"/>
           </entry>
           <entry key="remote">
              <ref bean="webscripts.script.remote" />
           </entry>
           <entry key="cmis">
              <ref bean="webscripts.js.cmis.client" />
           </entry>
         </map>
      </property>
      <!– more boring properties –>
   </bean>
</blockcode>

I don't know about scheduled actions though, as the ScriptRemote class is not a valid processor extension and can not be added as a root object to the internal Rhino script processor.
