Alfresco - How to create a Share web script that uses a Repository web script?

Question

I'm trying to make a webscript on Alfresco Share (and potentially a dashlet) that uses/calls a webscript on the Repository tier. I know I need a description XML file, a javascript and a result page being HTML or JSON. My question is what should be in those files?

This what I have compiled from various sources in the interwebs ;)

Desc:

<webscript>
   <shortname>Some name</shortname>
   <description>Some description</description>
   <family>dashlet</family>
   <url>/components/dashlets/upload/fileupload</url>
</webscript>

Javascript:

var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
var data = connector.get("/upload/fileupload");//URL of Repository webscript     

// create json object from data
var result = eval('(' + data + ')');//This will parse json data
model.resultaat = result["resultaat"];//For adding data to model.

HTML.ftl result:

<#if resultaat??>
    ${resultaat}
<#else>
    Oh no, the folder name is empty!
</#if>

What I'm actually trying to do is call a Repo webscript that generates and put a report in the Repository. This works (see How to add a document to the Alfresco Repository with Java code?), but I want to call this from Share. So any suggestions?

EDIT: Updated the files.

did you found answer this use full?

Below is the code which you need to put in Share JS controller(webscript.get.js) for connecting to Repository webscript.

var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
var data = connector.get("/sample/docprop.json");//URL of Repository webscript     

// create json object from data
var result = eval('(' + data + ')');//This will parse json data
model.docprop = result["docprop"];//For adding data to model.

I get the following error: Cannot parse XML: Scanner State 24 not Recognized. It says it fails on line 5 of this example: customfileupload.get.js#5(eval)#1 Btw the data from my repo webscript is JSON, so I don't know why it's asking about XML.

If you see my comment , 3rd line is added for parsing json document and not xml.

It is JSON, I don't know why it says XML.
