Hi

My locally-installed app need to populate a repeating grid from a local json file.
I've tried to build a service using "file:///path/filename.json" as the url, but nothing is returned. First question: is this possible?

I just saw response in the topic below:
https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

This makes me wonder if I could build a simple generic service that just parsed the local json file. If I did so, is there a way of mapping the results array to the grid?

A very simple example would be very helpful

Thanks,
John

I doubt file:/// work work as the URL is simply used to construct a jQuery Ajax call.

You could use a Generic service, this will allow you to use the mapping feature. As for reading JSON from a local file.. check the browser File API. You might find other ways to do it.

Anyone got any examples of this workingplease?

We don't have this specific example.

Is there an example on creating a generic service then where i could write some javascript to read teh json and use for mapping?
