Utilizing Liferay 6.0.6's JSON API to Enhance JavaScript Functionality

I am seeking a way to access data from the Liferay portal using its JSON API through JavaScript client by making AJAX calls.

After some research, I was able to find the address for the API :

http://127.0.0.1:8080/tunnel-web/secure/json

There is also a SOAP web service available at this address:

http://127.0.0.1/:8080/tunnel-web/secure/axis

Upon authentication, the SOAP version returns a list of services with WSDL descriptors, but the JSON version does not display anything (with an HTTP status of 200).

I attempted a request like this one:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/tunnel-web/secure/json?serviceClassName=com.liferay%C2%AD.portal.service.CountryServiceUtil&serviceMethodName=getCountries

This resulted in a 404 error: HTTP Status 404 - /tunnel-web/c/portal/status "Resource is not available"

What could be causing this issue? How can I retrieve the data in JSON format?

Running on Liferay 6.06

Thank you for any assistance :)

EDIT :

Please note that I have successfully passed the authentication process, either by providing login credentials when prompted by the browser or by including them in the URL:

http://login:<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a5d5c4d6d6d2cad7c1e59497928b958b94">[email protected]</a>:8080/...

Therefore, authentication is not the cause of the issue here :/

Answer №1

I have not personally attempted this yet, but I believe that liferay's secure webservices require credentials for access.

Before proceeding, make sure to verify your authentication type in the portal-ext.properties file:

company.security.auth.type=screenName

Then you can try accessing using the following URL format:

http://" + [userId / sreenName] + ":" + password + "@<server.com>:<port>/api/secure/axis/" + serviceName

Answer №2

Sorry for the mistake on my part.

It seems that the ServiceClassName in my request has been corrupted by some "%C2%AD" characters:

http://login:<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5222332121253d2036126360657c627c627c63">[email protected]</a>:8080/tunnel-web/secure/json?serviceClassName=com.liferay%C2%AD.portal.service.CountryServiceUtil&serviceMethodName=getCountries

That's where the issue lies.

I have fixed it by removing them:

http://login:<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d9a9b8aaaaaeb6abbd99e8ebeef7e9f7e9f7e8">[email protected]</a>:8080/tunnel-web/secure/json?serviceClassName=com.liferay.portal.service.CountryServiceUtil&serviceMethodName=getCountries

A helpful clue was found here: a discussion thread regarding JSON web service requests with formatting.
