<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.&nbsp; They are ideal for building data access &amp; update APIs and simple UI components such as Portlets.&nbsp; Development of Web Scripts may be performed within Alfresco.&nbsp; 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://&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/alfresco/service/blog/category/{category}
</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Retrieve meta-data for an item in the repository</strong> </dt></dl> 
<p>
GET http://&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/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://&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/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://&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/alfresco/service/blog/2007/03/04/new-release
