Hello,
This is for something I'm trying to develop ... And I'm not sure it has
something to do with XWiki, but who knows ?
In a page I call a particular init() function like this :
Event.observe(window, "load", init);
This init() aims at loading some JSON data from another page using Ajax. I
was inspired by the livetable.js here :-)
var json = ""
var ajx=new Ajax.Request( "
http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/JSONProvider?xpage=plain&outpu…ain",
{method:"get", onSuccess:function(transport) { json =
eval("("+transport.responseText+")"); }
}
)
This Javascript is in a .js file along with other resources on the server
filesystem. It is loaded with $xwiki.jsfx.use(...) .
When I debug step by step using Firebug, everything is fine, "json" variable
contains what I expect.
But when I'm not debugging and refresh the page, "json" variable is empty
... (breakpointing AFTER ajax call shows it). Though I can see in Firebug
that my Ajax http request finished with a 200 OK code.
Do you think it might be linked to the fact this method is called on page
load ? I can't see how it's different than other ajax calls in xwiki ...
Thanks for any help,
Jeremie

You should use what Prototype already offers:
- set the proper MIME type for the response from velocity, with
$response.setContentType('application/json')
- write well formed JSON (also include the ( and ) that you append
before the eval in your current code
- use transport.responseJSON to read the already parsed JSON data
{method:"get",
onSuccess:function(transport) { json =
eval("("+transport.responseText+")"); }
}
)

Can you also check the content of the response, to see if it's well
formed JSON? If you also set the right MIME type, then Firebug should
provide a tab with the JSON data of the response (depends on the actual
Firebug version).

Hello & thx Sergiu,
I changed to json content-type, and responseJSON as you proposed.
I checked that my GET request is 200 OK, and in the response the JSON tab in
Firebug shows well formed JSON. But still my json variable is empty at
execution time !
By the way if I breakpoint on or before the Ajax.Request() and step over the
code, the json variable gets properly initiated and executed. Where it's
used afterwards, it's perfectly well formed.
I also added url parameters as 'parameters' of Ajax.Request instead of
directly in the url but no change.
Could it be a problem in the way I pass my json variable ? Declared outside
of Ajax.Request(...) ? It must be something really stupid but I just don't
understand ...

Assign a default value to your json variable before making the request
then invoke the Firebug debugger in your onSuccess handler by simply
writing:
debugger;
before the response assignation. Refresh the page and check if your json
variable has the default value before being assigned with the JSON
response and if the response if evaluated correctly. If all this is fine
then maybe your json variable is affected elsewhere.
Hope this helps,
Marius

Wait, do you use json here, after the new Ajax.Request? You can't do
that. You should put the code using json inside the onSuccess handler.
Alternatively, you can add
asynchronous: false,
to the list of parameters to make the call synchronous, which means that
the new Ajax.Request line will block until the response arrives. But
this is bad for several reasons: in most of the current browsers it
blocks the entire browser until the response arrives, so if the server
is slow to respond, you'll lock the user outside the browser; the method
might fail, so onSuccess will not be called, and json will still have
the wrong value.

Yes, the purpose was to use json var after the Ajax.Request() block ...
Understood, I will make a function of the rest of the code and pass in the
onSuccess, thanks.
I tried the asynchronous:false with no different result, but I would have to
test again to be sure.
Thx,

Great thank you, you were right - executing everything in onSuccess() solved
my issue ! :)
I'm working on integrating JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit
<http://thejit.org/>with XWiki - at least some graphs. So now I can
successfully display an
hyperbolic tree in a wiki page with json data provided from another page :)
My primary intent was to display parent-child relation-ships using a
SpaceTree, a bit like the MindMap snippet.
Thanks again for your help Sergiu,
Jeremie
