Hi Ryszard, If you want to query external URLs you will need to proxy the requests. The "url" parameter is limited by browsers same origin policy. To proxy the request you can have a result page with a groovy script that makes the HTTP requests to the external URL and outputs it. It has a performance cost, though, since it means 2 requests where you would do only one with an internal URL. Another alternative is to make the livetable support JSON with padding technique (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON#JSONP) ; it's not very complex, it just needs an alternative method to fetch the data (instead of AJAX request) + an option to activate this method. Though it's a bit touchy security-wise, not sure we would want to have this available by default (but could be discussed). Jerome. ----- "Ryszard Łach" <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi! Does anybody know how to display some external data using LiveTable macro? I can see in doc, that there is an 'url' alternative datasource (alternative to className and resultsPage), but I cannot find any examples using it.

I've tried to write to the text file the JSON output used by the macro, then I put the file on some http server and try to use its url in macro invocation, but it does not work.

TIA,

R.
