I created a post showing hoe to make RESTful calls with plain vanilla JavaScript and wanted to show how to do the same thing using JQuery. So here it is:
RESTService.prototype.doPost = function(url, data, successHandler, errorHandler) { $.ajax( { data: JSON.stringify(data), dataType: 'json', type: 'POST', url: url, beforeSend: function(request) { request.setRequestHeader('accept', 'application/json'); request.setRequestHeader('content-type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'); }, success: function(response) { successHandler(response); }, error: function(response) { errorHandler(response); } }); };
