Hi. Currently I use AJAX to send POST requests and receive JSON encoded data which is magically supplied as an object to me by Prototype in the onSuccess handler.
I can then examine the data and process it as I need to. So far so good. I now need to do something I don't know how to do. The "processing" I mentioned above is essentially a switch statement which determines the processing I want. The specific case then extracts the parameters from the JSON object and calls the appropriate method/function with the extracted params. More functionality means more editing of this 1 function. What I want to achieve is a way to have my server supply the call that is to be made and when the response arrives at the client, it is just executed, without me having to decode it first. I want to have a shrink wrapped set of classes which are communicated with, essentially by the server. A simplistic example. Client performs some user interface action (clicks a button, drop down, etc.). This initiates an AJAX call to get some data. The server responds with the data using JSON. The onSuccess handler decodes the data client side and calls the appropriate functions to handle the response. I want this to become Client performs some user interface action (clicks a button, drop down, etc.). This initiates an AJAX call to get some data. The server responds with the data using JSON and the code required to handle the data. The onSuccess handler just runs the code. This will allow me to incrementally add functionality to the client as they move around the site.
