I think that would be great.
In my project I had to use Ajax pattern and I faced similar problem in
accessing Http Session. Ajax request was simply creating new session. As you
can understand in shopping cart application session is the most crucial
thing.
What I did to access session is got the session token from "Document.Url"
and used the session to call the server so that it taps on the existing
session. It worked but this is called "URLRewritting" which is highly unsafe
method.
My code is :
function sendDataToServer(parameters){
var url =
"<@ofbizUrl>/yourordersofar</@ofbizUrl>;JSESSIONID_ofbiz="+getCookie("JSESSI
ONID_ofbiz");
request.onreadystatechange = updateOrderSoFar; //updatePage;
takeRequest = true;
try{
request.open("POST",url,true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
request.send(parameters);
}catch(PostNotAllowed) {
//some old versions of Safari browser does not Support POST
try{
var uri_get = url+"?" + parameters;
request.open("GET",uri_get,true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setRequestHeader("Content-length",
parameters.length);
request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
request.send(null);
//alert("Request send to server using Post and url
:"+uri_get);
}catch(failed){
alert("Sorry! your browser is not allowing me to
send any request to server.");
}
}
}
If you can give me any better Ideas It will be highly helpful.

It would be great to have an example/poc or two in different parts of
the project, or even in the example component, that people can look
at and use as a basis for other parts of the project or
customizations or whatever.
Given the somewhat chaotic nature of the AJAX world, it might be nice
to have multiple PoC bits in place to compare things for making a
decision for other parts.
