Consume XSJS response text in UI5?

[former_member417227]

Hi All,

I was trying to set the text of the Button to currently logged in username with jQuery.ajax call. But couldn't figure out the problem here. Please help.

view.xml

<Button id="idUserBtn" icon="sap-icon://customer" tooltip="User Information" type="Transparent"/>

controller.js

var oUsername = this.getView().byId("idUserBtn");
jQuery.ajax({
  url: "https://..../services/serverLogic.xsjs",
  method: 'GET',
  dataType: 'json',
 success: function(username) {
    oUsername.setText(username);
  },
  error: function() {
   oUsername.setText("fail");
  }
});

serverLogic.xsjs

function getUsername() {
    var username = $.session.getUsername();
    return username;
}
var result = getUsername();
$.response.setBody(result);

Hi,

The AJAX call to the back-end is async by default. Looks like your success handler is reached only after the screen is rendered. You can try by re-rendering your button after setting its text in the success handler.

Didn't help. My xsjs service successfully responses with the USER logged-in. But the ajax call is failing every time, no matter in which controller lifecycle hooks it resides and sets Button's text to "fail".

Yes, it is. Native HANA application development.

what error you have now? why not using relative url of your xsjs?
