<h1>Web Scripts</h1>
<p>
Documentation on how to develop a Web Script may be found <a href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts">here</a>. </p><p>Web Scripts allow you to bind new Alfresco-based functionality to a HTTP method and custom URL. A library of URLs may be built up to provide a complete API accessible via HTTP. They are ideal for building data access & update APIs and simple UI components such as Portlets. Development of Web Scripts may be performed within Alfresco. Knowledge of Java is <em><strong>not</strong></em> required.<br/>
</p>
<p>
For example, you could create the following API for your particular application...
</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Execute a search</strong> </dt></dl>
<p>
GET http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/blog/category/
</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Retrieve meta-data for an item in the repository</strong> </dt></dl>
<p>
GET http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/blog/2007/03/04/new-release
</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Update meta-data for an item in the repository</strong> </dt></dl>
<p>
POST http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/blog/2007/03/04/new-release?status=Draft
</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Delete an item in the repository</strong></dt></dl>
<p>
DELETE http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/blog/2007/03/04/new-release
