Learning Alfresco Web Scripts

Web script functionality at a high level

After understanding the overall scenario that we want to achieve, let's understand how this web script will work at a high level:

• A parameter nodeid needs to be passed as a request argument to the web script.
• The web script will be accessed by authenticated users only.
• If a user has at the minimum read access to a given node, then only the physical location of the filesystem and content size will be provided for the node.
• A response will be provided in JSON as well as XML format. The format can be specified at the time of invoking the web script.
