I saw an interesting question on sharepoint.stackexchange: How to access a Web application/Farm level property bag via jQuery/Javascript/ClientContext. Some time ago I tested a custom http handler, so I wanted to try a custom httphandler for this as well. It worked. Here more details: Just deploy sp-lend-id.tupsam from the solution. If you don’t have any properties in your web application, just add some: asnp microsoft.sharepoint.powershell $app = get-spwebapplication http://dev $app.Properties.Add("Santa", "Claus") $app.

In my previous post I showed a little proof-of-concept for an httphandler which I want to use to dynamically get the localization resources from SharePoint as javascript object. But wait a moment. How does SharePoint handle localization on client? When you look in Script tab in Chrome dev tools, you’ll find: ScriptResource.axd It is added to the server when deployed. See a good introduction to WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd by Brian Chavez.

Sometimes I want to add some dynamic javascript code. E.g. I had an idea to get javascript code for localization dynamically. Kirk Evan provides a very clean approach to add ASP.NET HttpHandler to SharePoint. This is just a little lab: Create a SharePoint empty project. I call it Jerkelle. Create a class called Resx2JsHandler and implement the IHttpHandler interface Add the mapped folder Layouts and create Jerkelle.ashx file Here is the project.
