FormWidget Ajax

[Abdullah Shaikh-3]

I saw the Ajax example in the example component, it was cool to see ajax in
ofbiz.

Is there any document where I can check how to use the FormWidget's Ajax
stuff ?

Also is there any thing in ofbiz using which I can perform Ajax request, not
using FormWidget, of course I know I can do it manually using the
XMLHttpRequest object, but is there any js methods or any java related stuff
added in ofbiz to make a ajax calls ?


Thanks,
Abdullah

Hi,

You have many example to example components in framework.
For js method, OFBiz use prototype and you have some function to make
call easier in select-all.js

Hi Abdullah,

There is a thread on dev list, and also a jira issue where you can check
one ajax  proposal
http://ofbiz.markmail.org/search/?q=+lookup#query:%20lookup+page:1+mid:j67oelfo3cytufh2+state:results

Also the prototype library is included in ofbiz, and used for making
ajax request in few places. For example you can search for "new
Ajax.Request" in the project and see how it is used. On the server side
you have to use a json event handlers if you want to return a json response.

Another option is to use the Dojo library which is also available in the
project. I think you can find dojo examples in ecommerce, on page
checkout screen.

There is also a basic example of Dojo tree use in WebSiteCMSNav.ftl + WebSiteCMSContent.ftl
Unfortunately, AFAIK (I used it in June), the Dojo version we use does not embed the lastest Dojo tree vesion which is far much
better...

Hey Bilgin, Thanks for the info. Can you just confirm, if instead of json I
want to return xml response, then should I need to use the
XmlRpcEventHandler, by looking at the name it looks like, any example of xml
response in ofbiz ?

I have never used XmlRpcEventHandler. It seems only to echo the xml sent
by the client.
Instead you can use screenxml view handler (not event handler). This
view handler will render the screen (form widgets) in xml format. If the
generated xml doesn't have the format you need, you can use a freemarker
to generate the xml manually.
