The Lstd.Json.getWebroutine(options) method provides a way for your JavaScript code to call a Webroutine. Any webrouting can be called with this method but only a JSON Response Webroutine can return data to it. The single options parameter is a JavaScript object containing zero or more of the following properties:

Wam

The WAM being called. If not present, the current WAM is used.

webroutine

The Webroutine being called. If not present, the current webroutine is used.

Fields

A JavaScript object containing the input values to send to the Webroutine. For example:

     { 
     GIVENAME: "William",
     SURNAME: "Shakespeare"
}

Lists

A JavaScript object containing lists to send to the Webroutine. Each list is an array or rows and each row is an object containing column values. For example:

     { 
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="d3984187-739d-4076-80e9-f3d87c162db0"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[     LIST01: [
]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>
          {DEPTMENT: "ADM", DEPTDESC: "Administration"},
          {DEPTMENT: "FIN", DEPTDESC: "Finance"}
     ]
}

callback

A JavaScript function that will be called when the Ajax request is completed. This function is only called on successful completion of a call to a JSON Response Webroutine. It will be passed a single parameter containing a Webroutine object that represents the Webroutine output.

Putting it all together, you get something like this:

     /*
* Get webroutine (Ajax request)
* Webroutine (wr) is passed to the callback wrapped in an Lstd.Json.Wr object
*/
var options = {
     wam: "SampleWam",
     webroutine: "Sample1",
     fields: {
          GIVENAME: "John",
         SURNAME: "Smith"
     },
     lists: {
          LIST01: [
               {DEPTMENT: "ADM", DEPTDESC: "Administration"},
               {DEPTMENT: "FIN", DEPTDESC: "Finance"}
          ]
     },
     callback: function(wr) {
          // Code to handle the Ajax response goes here
     }
};

Lstd.Json.getWebroutine(options);

The Webroutine object passed to the callback function contains a number of methods for getting the fields and lists returned from the server.
