WL.Client.invokeProcedure

Invoke a procedure exposed by an IBM Worklight adapter

Parameter Description
invocationData A JSON block of parameters.
options Optional. A standard options object, augmented with the following property:

  • timeout: Integer. Number of milliseconds to wait for the server response before failing with a request timeout.

The success handler of this call receives an augmented response

The failure handler of this call is called in two cases:

  • The procedure was called but failed. In this case, the invocationResult property is added to the response received by the failure handler. This property has the same structure as the invocationResult property returned to the success handler, but the value of the isSuccessful attribute is false.

  • A technical failure resulted in the procedure not being called. In this case, the failure handler receives a standard response object.
