Extract dataObj values ???

[yascorp]

Hello,
I have done an ajax.request to send data to a specific url

html.ftl

<javascript>
function generateForm() {

var title = new YAHOO.util.Element('${args.htmlid}-title');
var title_v = title.get('value');
var description = new YAHOO.util.Element('${args.htmlid}-description');
var description_v = description.get('value');
var category = new YAHOO.util.Element('${args.htmlid}-category');
var category_v = category.get('value');
   
var data = {               
            title : title_v,
            description : description_v,
            category : category_v
         };
        
Alfresco.util.Ajax.request(
               {   
                   url: Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + "api/form/add-news",
                   method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST,
                  dataObj:
                     {
                        site: Alfresco.constants.SITE,                        
                        dataValues: JSON.stringify(data)                        
                     },
                  
                  successCallback:                                          
                     {                     
                        fn: function generateForm_onSuccess(response) {
                           var res = response.serverResponse.responseText
                           var dataString = JSON.stringify(data);                                                   
                           console.log("Loading success !" + dataString);   
                           console.log("Loading success !" + res);                                                      
                        },
                        scope: this
                     },
                  failureCallback:
                     {
                        fn: function generateForm_onFailure(response) {
                           console.log("Loading failed …");
                        },
                        scope: this
                     },   
                  execScripts: true
               });
}
</javascript>


my add-news.post.js
<javascript>
                var siteId = json.get("site");
      
      var jsonData = json.get("dataValues");
      
      var siteRoot = siteService.getSite(siteId);
      
      logger.log("ADDNEWS : SITEID" + siteId);               
      
      // Convertir le native JS object to string
      //var objtoString = jsonUtils.toJSONString(jsonData);
      var objtoString = String(jsonData);
      model.objtoString = objtoString;
      
      logger.log("ADDNEWS : objtostring : " + model.objtoString);
</javascript>

I get this error : "json" is undefined ???

so how can I get "site" & "dataValues" VALUES ???

Hello,

for "json" to be defined you need to make sure you actually submit in JSON format and your web script is setup to handle JSON. That requires you to
<ul>
<li>set the JSON request content type - you can do that manually by setting the requestContentType parameter or instead use jsonRequest or even jsonPost (which allows you to omit the method)</li>
<li>state that your controller expects a JSON request by naming it xy.post.json.js</li>
</ul>

Also, when you submit as JSON, you do not need to manually stringify any data. YUI / Alfresco takes care of that.

Thanks for your reply Axel !
I add the submitType like this :
<javascript>
……..
……..
……..
Alfresco.util.Ajax.request(
               {   
                   url: Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI + "api/form/add-news",
                   method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST,
                  dataObj:
                     {
                        site: Alfresco.constants.SITE,                        
                        dataValues: data,
                        submitType: "json"                        
                     },
……….
……….
……….
</javascript>

And I rename my js like this : x.post.json.js

but json still undefined
