The webscript element in a web descriptor file provides the root XML
element. The webscript element is required.
The webscript element has the following attributes:
- kind (optional)
- Different kinds of web scripts can be created. When this attribute is specified it allows a web script kind other than the default to be specified. An example kind is org.alfresco.repository.content.stream. This kind of web script returns a binary stream from the repository back to the client. This might be useful for returning a thumbnail binary to the client for example. It is also possible to create additional web script kinds according to your needs.
