ZimletJS

You are looking at legacy Zimlet documentation. For Zimbra Modern UI Zimlet development go to: https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/DevelopersGuide#Zimlet_Development_Guide.

 - This is archive documentation, which means it is not supported or valid for recent versions of Zimbra Collaboration.

Rather allot needs to be writtenby those that understand the intents of the JS API

AjxDispatcher

appears to be a way for anyone to register a global function that can then be run 'by name'

ie.

../ZmCalendarApp.js:   AjxDispatcher.registerMethod("GetCalController", "CalendarCore", new AjxCallback(this, this.getCalController));
Tasks_all.js:           var cc = AjxDispatcher.run("GetCalController");

AjxRpc or howto access a JSP

MainHelloView.prototype._updateHTML_JSP = 
function(to, body) {
	var url = this.helloWorldZimlet.getResource('hello_world.jsp');

	to = AjxStringUtil.urlEncode(to);
	body = AjxStringUtil.urlEncode(body);
	var reqParam = 'to=' + to + '&body=' + body;
	var reqHeader = {"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"};

	AjxRpc.invoke(reqParam, url, reqHeader, new AjxCallback(this, this._updateHTMLCallback));
};
MainHelloView.prototype._updateHTMLCallback=
function(result) {
	var r = result.text;
	DBG.println(AjxDebug.DBG2, "result:" + r);
	this.getHtmlElement().innerHTML = r;
};
