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

[quadzilla]

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.

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,
