I have deployed the adapter on Worklight server and there is some requirement where I am calling worklight adapter from outside as a rest serverice , it is working fine and returning data as required but instead of giving json output it is giving HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><title>Invoke Procedure Result</title><script src="/secure/console/js/jquery-1.6.min.js"></script><style> textarea { width: 100%; } .textwrapper { margin: 5px 0; padding: 3px; }</style></head><body onload="attachEvent();"><div><span id="invRes">Invocation Result of procedure: 'Authentication' from the Worklight Server</span>: </div><div id="target"><textarea rows="20">{

}</textarea></div><script>function attachEvent() {$('#target').ajaxError(function(e, xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){$(this).text("Error: Please ensure that the XML input and XSL transformation are valid and try again.");});}function run_xslt() {var xml = $('#originalXML').val();var xsl = $('#originalXSL').val();$.post('/secure/dev/xslt',{'xml':xml,'xsl':xsl},function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest){$('#target').empty();json = $("<textarea></textarea>");json.attr("rows",25);json.text(data);$('#target').append(json);$('#invRes').text('Result of Local XSL Transformation');},'text');}</script></body></html>
in code I am again parsing it from HTML and storing json into string. Then only i can use it. This is the url given below for calling adapter externally as per worklight docs.
remove /dev/ component from the URL, it is for development ease purposes only. without it you'll get your JSON.
I had the same issue and after reading Anton's answers I set the "dataType" of the Ajax call to "text" and then edit the response to remove the /*-secure- and */ and then parsed the string to get the JSON "JSON.parse(theString)"
