[xwiki-users] Javascript RESTful - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

21 Feb 2015

Hello,

i like the REST-API and have a library in Java which works perfect. Now i
want to use the RESTful API in Javascript. But i am new to javascript and
tried a lot, but nothing seems to work. Is there a simple example in
javascript with the rest-api?

I don't get what i am doing wrong, because i am not good in javascript.

I tried

require(['jquery'], function ($) {
  $.ajax({
     accepts: {xml: 'text/xml', text: 'text/plain'},
     url: 'http://HOST/xwiki/rest',
    type: 'GET',
     dataType: 'xml',
    contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
     converters: {'text xml': jQuery.parseXML},
     crossDomain: true,
     async: true,
     username: 'username',
     password: 'apassword',
     success: function(data){        
        alert("Success: "+JSON.stringify(data));
     },
    error: function(data){        
        alert("Error: "+ JSON.stringify(data));
     }
  });
});

Also i tried

var httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.open('PUT', 'http://HOST/xwiki/rest');
httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/xml'); 
httpRequest.send( null );
alert( JSON.stringify(httpRequest.responseText) );
httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
  if(this.readyState == 4){
   if(this.status == 200){
     alert(this.responseText);
   }
   else{
     alert(this.statusText);
   }
  }
}

I recognized a difference in ajax when i switched to jsonp because i tried
on localhost. But anyway my example work when i use my server outside.

Can you help me?

Regards,
Matthias
