     "folder" :
     {
       "path" : "${folder.displayPath}",

     },
     "children" : [

       {
           "isfolder" : <#if child.isContainer>true<#else>false</#if>,
           <#if verbose>
           "modifier" : "${child.properties.modifier}",

             ${child.properties.content.size?c}<#else>null</#if>,
           "modified" : "${child.properties.modified?date}",
           </#if>
           "name" : "${child.name}"

1. In a new browser tab, enter: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index
2. If prompted, log in with the user name admin and password admin.
3. Click Refresh Web Scripts. A message indicates all web scripts have refreshed.

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.
