Description

This zimlet shows how to launch a JSP from within the Zimlet Handler Object using Ajax and read the response asynchronously.

Definition File

<zimlet name="com_zimbra_example_simplejspasync" version="1.0" description="An example zimlet using a JSP file.">
    <include>com_zimbra_example_simplejspasync.js</include>
    <handlerObject>com_zimbra_example_simplejspasync_HandlerObject</handlerObject>
    <zimletPanelItem label="JSP Example (via Ajax)" icon="zimbraIcon">
      <toolTipText>Click to launch the JSP Example</toolTipText>
   </zimletPanelItem>
</zimlet>

Handler Object

The following code snippet from the zimlet JavaScript Handler Object show making the Ajax call to the JSP file and setting the callback method to read the response asyncrhonously:

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

    var callback = new AjxCallback(this, this._rpcCallback, ["param1", "param2"])

    AjxRpc.invoke(null, jspUrl, null, callback, true);	
};

When the JSP page response is received, the callback method is executed:

/**
 * Called from the ajax callback.
 * 
 */
com_zimbra_example_simplejspasyncHandlerObject.prototype._rpcCallback =
function(p1, p2, response) {
    if (response.success == true) {
      appCtxt.getAppController().setStatusMsg(response.text);		
    }
};
