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.

So I was attempting to implement the following File Upload tutorial:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples#File_Upload

and my Dashlet is just named sumit and my sumit.post.js file looks like the following:

var filename = null;
var content = null;
var title = "";
var description = "";

// locate file attributes
for each (field in formdata.fields)
{
  if (field.name == "title")
  {
    title = field.value;
  }
  else if (field.name == "desc")
  {
    description = field.value;
  }
  else if (field.name == "file" && field.isFile)
  {
    filename = field.filename;
    content = field.content;
  }
}

// ensure mandatory file attributes have been located
if (filename == undefined || content == undefined)
{
  status.code = 400;
  status.message = "Uploaded file cannot be located in request";
  status.redirect = true;
}
else
{
  // create document in company home for uploaded file
  upload = companyhome.createFile("upload" + companyhome.children.length + "_" + filename) ;

  upload.properties.content.write(content);
  upload.properties.content.setEncoding("UTF-8");
  upload.properties.content.guessMimetype(filename);

  upload.properties.title = title;
  upload.properties.description = description;
  upload.save();

  // setup model for response template
  model.upload = upload;
}

and I get the following error after I attempt a file upload:

Error Message: 06100003 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/sumit.post.js': 06100002 ReferenceError: "companyhome" is not defined. (file:/var/lib/tomcat-7-share/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/sumit.post.js#34)
Server: Alfresco Spring WebScripts - v1.2.0 (Release 1207) schema 1,000

I was looking through trying to figure out where companyname was defined in the example, when I discovered it was in the global API:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API

Is there something I have to do to the sumit.post.desc.xml or sumit.post.properties file I need to include in order to get access to that variable?

There are two obvious things to ask first:
1. Did you deploy this webscript to Share or Alfresco? Companyhome is only available in Alfresco.
2. Are you authenticated? I'm not 100% sure, but I think nonauthenticated (not guest) users can't have companyhome object. (I'd need to check that, though).
