XPages and REST : Error 500 from IBM Notes Client

Question

i'm trying to get a JSON representation of a view with an ajax request from a XPage. First of all, i did it with the following url https://myserver/mydb/myview?readviewentries&outputformat=JSON&count=-1.

It works in browsers but not in IBM Notes Client (my application have to work in the both), i got an error 404, i read on internet that we can't use that syntax in the Notes client. So i tried to use the restService element from XPages to get my JSON.

I create a XPage with the following code :

<xe:restService id="restService1" pathInfo="JoursFeries">
    <xe:this.service>
        <xe:viewJsonService defaultColumns="true"
            databaseName="Applis/JoursFeries.nsf" viewName="JoursFeries">
        </xe:viewJsonService>
    </xe:this.service>
</xe:restService>

I changed my URL to call my Rest service like that : myXpage.xsp/JoursFeries (My new XPage is on the same database as the calling XPage). One more time, it works on browsers but still not in IBM Notes client. I called it like that :

var feries = {
    url : "xRestJoursFeries.xsp/JoursFeries",
    handleAs : "json",
    sync : true,
    preventCache : this.urlPreventCache,
    load : function(json) {
        // My callback function
    }
}

dojo.xhrGet(feries);

When I activate my XPage debugger in Notes client, I just can see that the page returns an error 500, my console just said that :

WARNING CLFAD####W: State data not available for /xRestJoursFeries because no control tree was found in the cache. ::class.methot=com.ibm.xsp.application.ViewHandlerExImpl_restoreView() ::thread=Thread-348 ::loggername=anonymous

I tried many parameters on my XPages which provides the REST service, but without success.

Thank you in advance.

The URL's in xPINC are different. You will need to change the URL's. Check this page for some info. http://xomino.com/2013/02/03/xpinc-browser-url-format-and-why-my-demo-failed-at-ibmconnect-part-2/

You could utilize @ClientType() in an if statement to choose onee URL over another.

You could also run xpages on the server and the app would work in both.
