1. Type the following in your command line:

   curl -uadmin:admin "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/dir/Company%20Home.json"

2. If you see the contents of the Company Home folder, your response template is working.

Each web script supports an unlimited number of response templates; however, there can only be one response template for each format. This is enforced by the naming convention for response templates. Your Folder Listing web script now supports two formats: HTML and JSON.

curl -uadmin:admin "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/dir/doesnotexist.json"

The web script responds with an error response, but in JSON format, as the client requested.
