Chapter 6. Creating Java-backed Web Scripts
In this chapter, we will cover how to create Java-backed Alfresco web scripts in detail. In order to do this, we will cover the following:
- Defining a sample use case scenario first
- Getting ready and identifying the required components to be developed
- Developing a Java-backed web script step by step
- Deploying and registering the web script
- Testing the web script as per the use case scenario
- Understanding the difference between the web script framework's helper classes to create a Java-backed controller
- Looking at some useful pointers to use controllers effectively
When developing web scripts in Alfresco, there are two choices to write the controller implementation for a web script: a JavaScript-backed controller and Java-backed controller. Depending on your preference, you can choose to develop controller implementation from these two when required. With a JavaScript-backed controller, the development cycle can get faster compared to a Java...
