The context is associated to the request, so if you execute a new HTTP request you get a new context. If you want to pass informations you will have to use query string. That said, request to get a JSON result are already special request because you don't want to end up with the skin: usually you use something like http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/get/MySpace/MyPage?outputSyntax=plain so you could test $xcontext.action == 'get' for example.

Hello:

I was wondering, if a page calls itself as a JSON provider, is the context preserved? or do I need to pass information to itself in the query string?

the way I have it call itself is that, if the query string is empty, it assumes you want to display the page, but if the query string has parameters, it assumes it needs to return JSON.

Yes the livetable macro uses the kind of URL I indicated. On Sun, Jul 10, 2016 at 6:26 PM, dullfig <[email protected]> wrote:

thanks for the response! that is what I was suspecting. The JSON provider is feeding a live table. I guess the live table macro already takes care of asking for plain output?
