Adds a new JavaScript Root Object `sysAdmin` to Alfresco Repo

Alfresco Script Root Object

This is an ACS project for Alfresco SDK 4.5 (ACS 7.3).

The project adds a new JavaScript Root Object sysAdmin using Alfresco Repo Extension Point

Alfresco Repository Spring Beans can be used from JS scripts accessing to Alfresco Web Application Context.

var context = Packages.org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext();
var sysAdminParams = context.getBean('sysAdminParams', Packages.org.alfresco.repo.admin.SysAdminParams);
logger.log(sysAdminParams.getAlfrescoHost());

However, when copying JS scripts to default folder Repository > Data Dictionary > Scripts, the execution environment is considered unsafe and source code accessing to Spring Beans using Packages is blocked.

Allowing the execution of this code requires the JS script deployed with Alfresco Repository or creating an Alfresco Script Root Object to expose required methods. This project exposes some methods from sysAdminParams Repository Spring Bean so it can be used from JS scripts available in Repository > Data Dictionary > Scripts in the following way:

logger.log(sysAdmin.getAlfrescoHost());
