Hi,

I have a web API which needs I have a web API which expect plain XML in the request body. My following program pass the XML as form data instead of raw request payload. Where am I doing wrong?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Data Call</title>
<link href="kendo/styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="kendo/styles/kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="kendo/js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="kendo/js/kendo.web.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
type: "xml",
transport: {
read: {
type: 'POST',
dataType: "xml",
data: "xmlstring",
url: "https://9.9.9.9:8443/kendotest/api/GetAccounts",
data: { escape('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><accountrequest><accountno>23</accountno></accountrequest>')},
beforeSend: function(xhr)
{
xhr.setRequestHeader('X-Token','6452734413286534260')
}
}
}
});
dataSource.read();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="info"></div>
</body>
</html>

Thanks,
Asat

Hi Rosen,

Thanks for your reply but I am still in dark.

I used pure jQuery as below and it works.

$.ajax ({
type: "POST",
url: "https://192.168.5.55:8443/abc/rest/crmapp/api/CrmGetAccounts",
dataType: "xml",
data: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><GetAccountsRequest xmlns="http://www.abc.net/act/1.0"><RequestFields><Accounts><Account><AccountNumber/><AccountName/><AccountNameIndex/><RepCode/><AccountEmail/><AccountWebsite/></Account></Accounts></RequestFields><Filters><AccountNumber><Range><From>3708</From><To>3708</To></Range></AccountNumber></GetAccountsRequest>',
headers: { 'X-ABC-Token': '5440276274957472002' }
});

But when I try to emulate the same with Kendo.. it doesn't work.

My current code is as below,

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
type: "xml",
transport: {
read: {
type: 'POST',
contentType: "text/xml",
url: "https://192.168.5.55:8443/abc/rest/crmapp/api/CrmGetAccounts",
processData: false,
dataType: "xml",
data: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><GetAccountsRequest xmlns="http://www.abc.net/act/1.0"><RequestFields><Accounts><Account><AccountNumber/><AccountName/><AccountNameIndex/><RepCode/><AccountEmail/><AccountWebsite/></Account></Accounts></RequestFields><Filters><AccountNumber><Range><From>3708</From><To>3708</To></Range></AccountNumber></GetAccountsRequest>',
headers: { 'X-Pronto-Token': '2395432833752785275' }
}
}
});
dataSource.read();
});

Hello Asat,

As you are sending data as a single string value, you will need to use the parameterMap function instead assigning it directly to the data option. Similar to the following:

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

type: "xml",

transport: {

read: {

type: 'POST',

contentType: "text/xml",

url: "https://192.168.5.55:8443/abc/rest/crmapp/api/CrmGetAccounts",

processData: false,

dataType: "xml",

headers: { 'X-Pronto-Token': '2395432833752785275' }

},

parameterMap: function() {

return '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><GetAccountsRequest xmlns="http://www.abc.net/act/1.0"><RequestFields><Accounts><Account><AccountNumber/><AccountName/><AccountNameIndex/><RepCode/><AccountEmail/><AccountWebsite/></Account></Accounts></RequestFields><Filters><AccountNumber><Range><From>3708</From><To>3708</To></Range></AccountNumber></GetAccountsRequest>';

}

});

dataSource.read();
