Hi all,I was using Alfresco 5.0.a community for developing dashlets and java backed webscipts. Alfresco.util.Ajax.request with POST was working fine in 5.0.a.

mmm, This code can't be working in Alfresco 5.0.a if you do a POST request…

You try to get information from request parameters, but it is in the request body.

Try to do the following:


 Content content = req.getContent();

        // get request content (should be JSON string)
        String params = content.getContent();

try {
            // parse string params to JSON object
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(params);

            // get breadcrumb
            String breadcrumb = jsonObject.getString("breadcrumb");

} catch (JSONException e) {

            throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("Request doesn't contain json object. " + e.getMessage());
}

Hi Palyukh

Above code which i mentioned above is working fine in Alfresco 5.0.a when i reverted back to older version from 5.0.c.

Again i upgraded to 5.0.c and I was getting exception while trying to use the above mentioned code by you .

Error message: "Request doesn't contain json object. A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 0"

But problem was resolved when i added 'requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON' in the ajax call.

Thank you for help
