OCOD integration using Jquery

2009-11-28T01:25:00.001-08:00

Ever since I have been mesmerized by JQuery , I have been desperate to implement something on it, well there is already enough post related to JQuery over internet my post would end-up one among the pile, which is when I decided it do something different.
Being an Oracle CRM Consultant for over 3 years now, I decided it to be on JQuery shaking hands with Oracle CRM on Demand.
Of all my experiments on JQuery (apart from UI)I have been around Ajax features in JQuery, hence I decided to come up with integration Code on JQuery using Ajax and Oracle CRM On-Demand.
Well, every Oracle CRM On-Demand Integration Developer understands and knows that the first thing that you need to get started with integration is a token generally termed as JSessionId.

And this is exactly what I intent to generate in this Post.

URL for Login
A client invokes login by sending an HTTP request to a URL like the following:

https://[Oracle CRM URL]/Services/Integration?command=login

[Oracle CRM URL]: This part of the URL would different for companies.

JQUERY

var url = ‘https://[Oracle CRM URL]/Services/Integration?command=login’;
$.ajax({url:url, .. , ..l});

User Name and Password

XMLHTTP Request would be set with 2 Headers, where the Keys would be UserName, Password and values would be users dynamic User Name and Password

JQUERY

beforeSend option in Jquery .ajax method is a pre-callback to modify the XMLHttpRequest object before it is sent and allows you to set our own set of custom headers etc..

var url = ‘https://[Oracle CRM URL]/Services/Integration?command=login’;
$.ajax({ url:url,
beforeSend:function(requestObject){
requestObject.setHeader(“UserName”,[username]);
requestObject.setHeader(“Password”,[password]);
}
, ..
});

[UserName]:User specific UserName
[Password]:User specific Password

Not success, but error:

In Jquery a typical ajax OnReadyStateChange is done using success option for Jquery .ajax method, but in order to get the expected Session Id I had to use error option, though it’s still unexplainable but I’m happy as long it works fine.

JQUERY

var url = ‘https://[Oracle CRM URL]/Services/Integration?command=login’;
var sessionId=’’;
$.ajax({
url:url,
beforeSend:function(requestObject){
requestObject.setHeader(“UserName”,[username]);
requestObject.setHeader(“Password”,[password]);
},
success:function(){
//Have nothing to do
},
error:function(requestObject, textStatus, errorThrown){
sessionId=requestObject.getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie");
alert(sessionId);
}
l});
if(sessionId==’’){
alert(‘Could not Connect to System’);
}else{
alert(‘Connected to System’);
}

PS: Currently this operation is well verse with IE, but seems not to be working on Firefox, will soon try to find a way out.
