How To: get the <shortname> value in Java webscript

I have a need to get the <shortname> value that is declared in the xml declaration for the component (componentname.get.desc.xml)

I have not found anyway using the API to extract that value in a Declaritive Java webscript class.

At some point in the future I will also need to get this out in a Javascript webscript but for the moment Java is my primary need.

Thanks

The shortname and all other values from the descriptor are stored in the associated Description object.

Code:

---

getDescription().getShortName()

---

the getDescription() method is public so you can call that on a webscript if you have one in your hand or obviously from within the webscript java class itself.

Cheers,
