IBM Worklight 6.1 - How to send post values in adapter?


I'm using IBM Worklight 6.1 for my mobile app project. How can I send post values in adapter?

function getUsername(userAlias,locale) {
    path = "rest-rib/service/Login/login_username";
    
    var input = {
        method : 'post',
        returnedContentType : 'json',
        path : path
    };
    
    
    return WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
}

Solution

  • You should read about HTTP adapters.

    The below simple POST example is based on this POST method example from W3C Schools.

    Adapter XML:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    
    <wl:adapter name="PostExample"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
        xmlns:wl="http://www.worklight.com/integration"
        xmlns:http="http://www.worklight.com/integration/http">
    
        <displayName>PostExample</displayName>
        <description>PostExample</description>
        <connectivity>
            <connectionPolicy xsi:type="http:HTTPConnectionPolicyType">
                <protocol>http</protocol>
                <domain>www.w3schools.com</domain>
                <port>80</port> 
            </connectionPolicy>
            <loadConstraints maxConcurrentConnectionsPerNode="2" />
        </connectivity>
    
        <procedure name="sendParams"/>
    </wl:adapter>
    

    Adapter implementation:

    function sendParams() {
        path = "tags/demo_form_method_post.asp";
        
        var input = {
            method : 'post',
            path: path,
            parameters: {fname: 'idan', lname: 'adar' } 
        };
        
        return WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
    }
