Handler Object

The following code snippet from the Zimlet Handler Object uses AjxRpc.invoke to call the JSP page and the response is read:

/**
 * Displays the zimlet jsp page.
 * 
 */
com_zimbra_example_simplejspajaxgetHandlerObject.prototype._displayDialog = 
function() {
    var jspUrl = this.getResource("jspfile.jsp");

    var response = AjxRpc.invoke(null, jspUrl, null, null, true);

    if (response.success == true) {
      appCtxt.getAppController().setStatusMsg(response.text);		
    }	
};
