$session
and $request
. $session
is a reference to the Foswiki session; most implementers should simply ignore this. $request
is a reference to the JSON request object. The following methods are available on this object: param('param1')
- returns the value of a single named parameter
params()
- returns a reference to the entire parameter hash
method()
- returns the method
namespace()
- returns the namespace
TO_JSON
method described in the documentation for the CPAN JSON module.
Errors can be signalled using a simple die
. Such errors will be returned to the caller with an errorCode
of 1. If you need to pass back extended error information, you will have to encode it in the die
message.
https://support.deltacontrols.ru/bin/jsonrpc/MyNamespace
... while POSTing a JSON-encoded request according to the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification,
like,
{ jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "someMethod", params: { topic: "Web.Topic", ... param1: "value1", param2: "value2", ... }, id: "caller's id" }
%JQREQUIRE{"jsonrpc"}%
. JSON-RPC can now be called like this:
$.jsonRpc( endpoint, /* %SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}% */ { namespace: "MyNamespace", method: "someMethod", id: "some caller's id", params: { topic: "Web.Topic", ... param1: "value1", param2: "value2", }, beforeSend: function(xhr) { ... }, error: function(jsonResponse, textStatus, xhr) { ... }, success: function(jsonResponse, textStatus, xhr) { ... } } );
{ jsonrpc: "2.0", error: { code: errorCode, message: "error description" }, id: "caller's id" }The following error codes are defined:
die
in the handler will return this
{ jsonrpc: "2.0", result: some-result-object, id: "caller's id" }
username
and password
URL parameters. It is strongly recommended that this is only done if the communications links is secure (https:), as these parameters are sent in plain text.
$.jsonRpc( "%SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}%" namespace: "MyNamespace", method: "someMethod", ... );
$.jsonRpc( "%SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}%/MyNamespace", method: "someMethod", ... );
$.jsonRpc( "%SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}%/MyNamespace/someMethod" ... );You can also use an HTML form:
<form action="%SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}%" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="namespace" value="MyNamespace" /> <input type="hidden" name="method" value="someMethod" /> ... </form>
<form action="%SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}%/Mynamespace" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="method" value="someMethod" /> ... </form>
<form action="%SCRIPTURL{"jsonrpc"}%/Mynamespace/someMethod" method="post"> ... </form>Forms of this type can easily be sent to the server using JQueryForm's
$.ajaxSubmit()
method.
If a namespace, method, or parameters are specified as part of a JSON-RPC request object as well as using URL parameters, the URL parameters take higher precedence and are merged into the request object.
