WEBfactory 2010

Signal-related Javascript functions

Abstract

This article describes the Signal-related Javascript functions, parameters and implementation method.

wfsConnect
Description

The wfsConnect method connects to the signal service and establishes a WEBfactory 2010 session. The onSuccess callback returns a session ID that will be further used in other requests.

Function
$.wfsConnect = function (onSuccess, onError, state) {
}
Parameters

onSuccess – The success callback. The callback will be executed when the operation is successful. The callback should look like: function onSuccess(session, state).

  • session - will contain information about the WEBfactory 2010 session and license:

    • session.sessionId - the session ID (used in all subsequent requests the Signals service).

    • session.isLicensed - true, if the license is valid; false, otherwise - is the argument passed to the method and can contain any user defined data.

  • state - is the argument passed to the method and can contain any user defined data.

onError - the error callback. This callback will be executed when the operation fails. The callback must look like: function onError(status, error, state).

  • status - will contain the error message.

  • error - contains more details about the error.

  • state - is the argument passed to the method and can contain any user defined data.

Implementation
$.wfsConnect = function (onSuccess, onError, state) {
        $.ajaxDotNet("/_WEBfactory 2010 /WebServices/WCF/SignalsService.svc/js/Connect", {
            success: function (data) {
                onSuccess(data.d, state);
            },
            error: function (jqXhr, status, error) {
                onError(status, error, state);
            }
        });
};
wfsDisconnect
Description

Function
$.wfsDisconnect = function (sessionId, onSuccess, onError, state) {

Parameters

sessionId - the current session ID, obtained from a call to connect.

onSuccess - the success callback. This callback will be executed when the operation is successful. The callback must look like: function onSuccess(state).

  • state - is the argument passed to the method and can contain any user defined data.

onError - the error callback. This callback will be executed when the operation. The callback must look like: function onError(status, error, state).

  • status - will contain the error message.

  • error - contains more details about the error.

  • state - is the argument passed to the method and can contain any user defined data.
