I cannot figure out how to return JSONP in RestXQ. After adding
let $x := util:declare-option("exist:serialize", fn:concat("method=json jsonp=",request:get-parameter("callback", "callback")))
to the function, I get the error message:
err:XPTY0004:It is a type error if, during the static analysis phase, an expression is found to have a static type that is not appropriate for the context in which the expression occurs, or during the dynamic evaluation phase, the dynamic type of a value does not match a required type as specified by the matching rules in 2.5.4 SequenceType Matching.
The beginning of the GET function is:
declare
%rest:GET
%rest:path("/demo/contacts/submit")
%rest:query-param("email", "{$email}", '')
%rest:query-param("nomail", "{$nomail}", 0)
%rest:produces("application/javascript")
%output:media-type("application/javascript")
%output:method("json")
function contacts:submit($email as xs:string*, $nomail as xs:integer*)
{
try
{
let $x := util:declare-option("exist:serialize", fn:concat("method=json jsonp=",request:get-parameter("callback", "callback")))
As discussed on the eXist-open mailing list (I'd suggest joining!), the request module's get-parameter()
function is not available inside a RestXQ function. Instead, you can get your callback
parameter via the %rest:query-param
annotation. Add %rest:query-param("callback", "{$callback}", '')
to your contacts:submit()
function, and I think you'll be a step closer.
