I am TS6.7 on Win2003 SP1. I am trying this following code. It is not returning the value which the perlscript returns. I guess my syntax is wrong can anyone correct me.

P.S. The perlscript return the file list in that particular directory.


init();
function init() {
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSave", setMetadata);
}

function setMetadata() {
var title = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Location").getValue();
var general = IWDatacapture.callServer("C:/Interwoven/TeamSite/httpd/iw-bin/DirectoryList.ipl");
alert (general);
//var prdate=IWDatacapture.getItem("/PressReleaseDate").getValue();
//var temp = new Array();
//temp = prdate.split('/');

//var mytitle= title + "_" +temp[2] +  "_" + temp[1];

IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(title);
return true;
}

Thanks

Read the documentation for CallServer in TeamSite Templating guide.

I didn't think that you could return a value from callserver().

Why not just use the parent.getscriptframe to get the value to the general variable?

callServer is not the same as external task.

It should call a cgi script not a CLT.

It should call a cgi script not a CLT.

An .ipl can be a cgi script.

All my cgi scripts are writen in PERL and saved with .ipl

I think You are not calling from correct path .U need to mention path only from httpd/iw-bin/DirectoryList.ipl
IWDatacapture.callServer("httpd/iw-bin/DirectoryList.ipl")

Also this will retun value surely.

You can't return a value with callServer() the way you're doing it because the method is Asynchronous.

Read the tst.670.formapi.pdf manual (around page 30 and the "sample user scripts" section) for more info + examples how to pass value from perl to js and js to perl.

There are couple of things regarding callServer one must remember.

It is a HTTP call to the script; so no perl files only CGI or Severlet calls
callServer never returns any value; it can be used to manipulate values of the form fields.

For more information refer to the formAPI documentation which has detailed functionality of callServer with examples.

John and Jon put together a nice presentation for GearUp this past May, which provided some useful ideas for working with callServer() - and its available on DevNet ...
