Could please anybody who has experiences with processing post xmlHttpRequests with Spring DispatcherPortlet, tell me what is the best way to do it ? I'm using YUI io module and Jackson Object Mapper as an example :
@ResourceMapping(value="stuff")
public void method(ResourceResponse response){
Person person = new Person();
person.setWeight(150);
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
try{
mapper.writeValue(response.getWriter(), person);
}
...
}
Ajax:
function() {
var A = AUI();
A.io("<portlet:resourceURL id="stuff" />", {
method: 'POST',
data: {
description: 'value'
}
});
}
This is the issue where you can vote up that spring-portlet environment will have the same support that common spring-mvc has. Which is @ResponseBody, data conversion to JSON etc. Now AFAIK one has to do it manually...
EDITED: Figured out the solution
PLEASE: Take a look at this issue which is better formulated https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4782971/handling-ajax-requests-with-spring-portlet
