using json

[chris snow <ch...@gmail.com>]

Are there any instructions for connecting to ofbiz using
javascript+json from an external web application.  I would like to
make a call to a service/controller that requires authentication.

Many thanks,

Chris

Chris,

We use the DojoJSONServiceEventHandler  in our controller.xml file to make
service request via an AJAX client.  The client specifies the service name
and appropriate parameters.  Then the handler returns a json string back to
the client.  We've like using json for many things as it is lighter than RMI
and easy to parse.

Sample controller elements:

<handler name="dojojson" type="request"
class="org.ofbiz.webapp.event.DojoJSONServiceEventHandler"/>

.....

 <request-map uri="getTestQuestions">
        <security https="true" auth="true"/>
        <event type="dojojson" invoke="getTestQuestions"/>
        <response name="success" type="none" value="CommonContentAdmin"/>
</request-map>


Brett

Hi BJ, thanks for the response.  Unfortunately, an iframe won't do - I
need to have a json client running on a remote server.

how about an Iframe from the website to the login you want to use.
I use this a lot for backend Customer login for my portal, on clients 
websites that ofbiz is the back end but not the ecommerce provider.
