Breaking Ajax Requests

[Joe Bologna]

Hello,

I'm in the process of configuring monitoring for OFBiz. Does anyone know where the best place would be to break Ajax requests? I'm looking to catch when an update, based on field drop-down selection that I could break. The goal is to catch problems with updates to user pages when selecting drop-down list criteria or any changes that update a user page.

I have tried breaking the selectall.js and GetDependentValues.js and it didn't work. In fact, if you rename these files so they are missing, the application still works. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

I don't know what you really want to do. But since OFBiz relies only on jQuery for its Ajax requests (thanks to our refactoring done with R11.04, older versions differ), the easiest way would be to use the non minified version of jQuery and to place your code inside the part which handles the Ajax requests there. I mean the deepest part of it, to be sure to catch all possible variations of Ajax requests in jQuery.

To use the non minified version of jQuery, simply replace (trunk)
<set field="layoutSettings.javaScripts[+0]" value="/images/jquery/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" global="true"/>

in concerned screens (you can doit everywhere for your tests and then refine if needed).

It's not jQuery specific, but you migh be interested by the Webtools Metrics also:

Thanks Jacques.

This gives me something else to look at. I want to force a loop back to the database on drop-down lists to introduce a delay or example of poor coding. I want to test and see if I can pick-up the code that is a problem and issue an alert.

Thanks again,
Joe
