[Solved] Syntax for specifying transport url as a function

[Jane]

The documentation says that the transport.read.url can be specified as a function.  Could you please tell me the syntax for doing this using UI for JSP?  

<kendo:dropDownList name="module" dataTextField="domainValue" dataValueField="domainId" optionLabel="Please Select..." id="module">
    <kendo:dataSource>
        <kendo:dataSource-transport>
            <kendo:dataSource-transport-read url=getTestModuleUrl() contentType="application/json"/>
        </kendo:dataSource-transport>
    </kendo:dataSource>
</kendo:dropDownList>

A string is expected for the url but if I do that, then the string is taken literally, and not as a function.  Could you please tell me the correct syntax?

Thank you.

Hello Jane,

The correct Read action function syntax is shown in the following Documentation article. Note that you will need to nest a <script> tag defining the function within the <kendo:dataSource-transport-read-url> tag.

Hi Melwin,

Could you explain what problem do you face? Do you follow the suggested approach from the documentation?

<kendo:dataSource-transport-read>
    <kendo:dataSource-transport-read-url>
        <script>
            function(e) {
                // Code to handle the url event.
            }
        </script>
    </kendo:dataSource-transport-read-url>
</kendo:dataSource-transport-read>
