jQuery.ajax URL

[andy worthington, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Hi,

I am using Liferay 5.2 and developing portlets in Netbeans, I wish to use AJAX to make calls to a .jsp file and return data.

I am unsure how to create a valid url to do this, the examples I have seen so far look something like this :

<portlet:actionurl windowstate="<%= LiferayWindowState.EXCLUSIVE.toString() %>"><portlet:param name="struts_action" value="/login/getNamess" /></portlet:actionurl>

I don't know how to use the struts action param or whether this is actually necessary.

I feel slightly embarassed at having to ask but can someone explain how i can make a call to a jsp file without using an absolute URL or is that the only way to do it ?

Thanks in advance.

In case anyone else is having simlar thoughts we solved this by using a RESTful web service and a proxy jsp file placed in webapps/ROOT that makes an ajax call via jQuery to the web service.

You can call JSP file through servlet, so you can choose the url on web.xml. If the servlet is calling your JSP file inside under <web-app-root/WEB-INF/ directory then the jsp it self it is not visible to rest of the world.

For Ajax I would suggest to see DWR which I have had very good experienes also with Liferay.
