Retrieve JSON data from Java RESTful Web Service

Discontinued products Scheduler for Java (JavaPlanner)
#1

Hi,

On dhtmlxscheduler blog I could read that you added the ability to retrieve JSON data from ASP.NET web service.

Did you do so with Java RESTful Web Service as well ? Any tutorial ?

Thank you for your help.

#2

Can you share any docs about specific of Java Web Service output ?
Scheduler requests data by GET request, so it must be fine for any REST service, the only problem that can arise is non-standard json output. Is any difference between json taht expected by the scheduler and json that is outputted by the Java service ?

The Java Web Service output follows the JSON-HAL format :
