Webservices and JSON

gil_fernandes — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:28:56 GMT

Hi, there,We just wanted to share our experience concerning JSON and Webservices here on this forum.We have been working on a web service, which browses through Alfresco and sends the result of each browsing action to the client as a JSON string. At first we thought, I just would download http://www

It would be *great* if you could post this example to the wiki! http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples is probably the most appropriate place for this.

Thanks for contributing!

Hello,

I have just modified the page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples#JSON_example . I hope this goes OK with you. I am quite unexperienced, so if I did something wrong, please do not hesitate to tell me.

Regards,

Gil

Have you tried using a Freemarker template to render the JSON response? Templates are so much easier to read and maintain than lots of string manipulation code.

Hello,

This is the Freemarker code I have used:

${jsonFolder}‍

This renders the JSON ouput in connection with the posted js file.

Kind regards,

Gil

Hello,

As a matter of fact, my first idea was to use Freemarker to render JSON strings.

Yet I then thought that it would be a better approach to use Javascript. Because I wanted to have some JSON functions that I could use ALWAYS to render JSON based Web scripts. So I have now a good piece of code that I can reuse.

Perhaps the Javascript solution is also faster than Freemarker.

Kind regards,

Gil

I know this topic is pretty old but I think http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples page needs a modification. Because when I tried this script, I lost a lot of time, till I found jsonUtils in this page
http://www.springsurf.org/sites/1.0.0.M3/spring-webscripts/spring-webscripts-documentation/reference/html/js-index.html . I think you should mention about jsonUtils.toJSONString and jsonUtils.toObject functions in this page.

Please don't post stuff like this to the forums. If you note something wrong with the community wiki pages then just go adead and fix it.

I did the change. As far as I undestood the old example wasn't necessary any longer, so I replaced it with a freemarker based one.

Bye.
