What the button can do is: (1) Submit an HTML form (no JavaScript needed). The browser will make an HTTP request to the specified page passing some parameters. The (Velocity) code on the requested page (where the form is submitted) will check the parameters and if they are present will call the script service and thus the Java component. or (2) Trigger a click event, which you can listen to using JavaScript and then make an AJAX request with some parameters. The (Velocity) code on the requested page will do the same thing as with (1).
