I have a JSP page called CreateProcessGroup.jsp and I use an annotation controller to map requests to CreateProcessGroup.htm to that page. But I'm having an interesting issue when I request the page from browser it works, when send a request using jQuery $.get method I get 404 (CreateProcessGroup.htm not found) is there a difference between two requests?
My JSP page just under WebContent dir and JS file under WEBContent/Jquery my function sending the request like below:
function SendCreateProcessGroupRequest()
{
var pid = $('#pid').val();
var description = $('#processGroupDescription').val();
var x = "/CreateProcessGroup.htm";
alert(x);
$.get(x, { pid: 62, description: description },
function(data){
alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});
}
Do I need to give the URL as ../CreateProcessGroup.htm? Indeed I tried:
/CreateProcessGroup.htm
../CreateProcessGroup.htm
/../CreateProcessGroup.htm
../../CreateProcessGroup.htm
/../../CreateProcessGroup.htm
My guess is DispatcherServlet can not map Ajax requests to Controllers but this is stupid isn't it?
How can i get rid of the situation?
Thanks all.
Try this instead:
var x = "CreateProcessGroup.htm";
If the page you're requesting is beside the one making the request there's no need for a path in front, it will (by default) make a request to the same path just with that page/handler on the end.

I have an ASP.net MVC project and depending on the filter options chosen by the user I am sending different ajax requests to the same actionresult, for example:
$(document).on("click", "#filter_reset_button", function () {
var url = "/Admin/Index";
ajaxRequest({
url: url,
type: "get",
data: { reset: true },
successCallback: function () {
window.location.href = url;
}
});
});
Other listeners sent different data, something like:
data: { page: 2, filterUpdate: true }
and so on. The Index ActionResult returns different lists of items, depending on different options chosen in the data and the code works completely fine.
A colleage of mine told me, that my code is actually sending two get requests to the AR everytime, so its not efficient. Is that true? And if its the case, how can I refactor it. to make it just one request? If I let window.location.href = url part out, the site actually doesnt load the server response.
Yes you are doing 2 request in button click. First in Ajax Get, Second in Success Call Back.
But Why are you calling window.location.href = url; success call back. ?
If you want update the page after click, you can do partial updates to page. Check this post.
That is correct 2 request called.
First request when you call AJAX get to Action Index in Admin Controller.
Second request when you set window.location.href = url, it will same as you enter /Admin/Index in browser.
In this case you only need window.location.href = '/admin/index?reset=true' in click function
You can see the post here at this post
Actually on success callback you must change your code accordingly to the above post
I was searching for a similar issue for a while now, but none of the solutions worked for me (and I couldn't find exactly the same issue).
First of all, the website I'm working on is running on Zend Framework. I suspect that it has something to do with the issue.
I want to make a pretty basic AJAX functionality, but for some reason my response always equals the html of the current page. I don't need any of Zend's functionality, the functions I need to implement could (and I'd prefer them to) work separately from the framework.
For testing purposes I made it as simple as I could and yet I fail to find the error. I have a page "test.php" which only has a link that triggers the ajax call. Here's how this call looks:
$('.quiz-link').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
URL: "/quiz_api.php",
type: "POST",
cache: false,
data: {
'test': 'test'
},
success: function(resp){
console.log(resp);
},
error: function(resp){
console.log("Error: " + reps);
}
});
});
And this quiz_api.php is just:
<?php
echo "This is a test";
?>
When I click on the link I get the entire HTML of the current page. "This is a test" can't be found there. I'm also getting an error: "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/."
I reckon it has to do with the JS files that are included into this HTML response, but I've also tried setting "async: true" and it didn't help.
I would like to avoid using Zend Framework functions for this task, because I'm not well familiar with it and even making a simple controller sounds rather painful. Instead I want to find out what's causing such behavior and see if it can be changed.
PS: I've also tried moving quiz_api.php to another domain, but it didn't change anything.
I know that it might be an older code but it works, simple and very adaptable. Here's what I came up with. Hope it works for you.
//Here is the html
Link Test
<div id="test_div"></div>
function test(){
// Create our XMLHttpRequest object
var hr = new XMLHttpRequest();
// This is the php file link
var url = "quiz_api.php";
// Attaches the variables to the url ie:var1=1&var2=2 etc...
var vars = '';
hr.open("POST", url, true);
//Set content type header information for sending url encoded variables in the request
hr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
// Access the onreadystatechange event for the XMLHttpRequest object
hr.onreadystatechange =
function(){
if(hr.readyState == 4 && hr.status == 200){
var return_data = hr.responseText;
console.log(return_data);
document.getElementById('test_div').innerHTML = return_data;
}else{
document.getElementById('test_div').innerHTML = "XMLHttpRequest failed";
}
}
//Send the data to PHP now... and wait for response to update the login_error div
hr.send(vars); // Actually execute the request
}
you can change the whole page with a document.write instead of changing individual "div"s
I am developing an application with angular js
Question: When I have an ajax call to server and I need to change the views based on the result of ajax call, the views don't get affected by this call, I think it the page renders before ajax call is finished but I don't know how to resolve it
For example the following piece of code
$scope.addItem = function() {
$http({
method :'GET',
url : 'addItem',
headers : {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
}).success( function(data) {
$scope.allItems = data;
});
}
the allItems changed after the ajax call but the view is not changed
how should I solve this?
I have this piece of code.
$('#river-selector').change(function() {
var url = window.location.href;
if (window.location.search.length) {
url = url.substring(0, url.indexOf('?'));
}
url += '?' + $(this).val();
forward(url);
});
Instead of using the redirection (ie forward), I would use an ajax request but I do not know how?
Someone would have an idea?
Thanks
Do you want to redirect to a given URL? is that what you want?
Here is how to redirect in javascript to a given url
// HTTP redirect
window.location.replace(url);
or
// similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = url;
You cannot redirect a page with AJAX, but you can:
change a page with ajax via PAjax like techs;
change the url of current page with History API in modern browsers.
I am trying to get the URL i see on my browser after i do an ajax request but the problem is that it changes the URL with the Ajax URL.
ex.
i am on domain.com/user/username
and the ajax URL that i call is in domain.com/posts/submit
when i echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on the posts controller in submit function it will display the second URL and not the first... how can i assure and get the first inside the ajax function that its 100% valid and not changed by the user to prevent any bad action?
Thanks
There is HTTP_REFERER but I don't know if that works for javascript requests. Another problem of this: It won't work for all browsers.
You could try the following:
1.) As the user visits domain.com/user/username the current URL is saved with a token - let's say 5299sQA332 - into the database and the token is provided through PHP to Javascript
2.) The ajax request will send this token along with the other variables needed to the controller through POST
3.) In your ajax controller you search the database for the given token 5299sQA332 and there you have your first URL and you can be damn sure, that it hasn't been manupulated
:)
If I understand you correctly, you want to make sure the ajax call is coming from the page it is supposed to be on? In that case just pass a token with the call.
In the controller function set a token variable in session;
public function username() {
$this->session->set_userdata('ajax_token', time());
}
Then in the view with the js;
$.ajax({
url: '/user/username',
type: 'post',
data: 'whatever=bob&token='+<?php echo $this->session->userdata('ajax_token'),
success: function( data ) {
},
error: function( data ) {
}
});
Then in you form validation, do a custome callback to check they are the same.
Have you looked at CodeIgniter's Input Class ?
$this->input->get('something', TRUE);
i used javascript for it and it seems to work... hope not to have any problems in the future with it...
ps: i dont get why my other answer was deleted.. thats the answer anyway.
