For some reason my generic service is returning a unexpected token error.
The generic service is set up to receive parsed data from a REST service and then edit it for mapping. It works for all of the other times I use it.

So, the data I am receiving is (after parsed)...
code
{"Data":[{"THREADTITLE" : "Cool Test","CREATEDDATE" : "May, 20 2013 00:00:00","DESCRIPTION" : "<p>
This is a test forum post&#46;<&#47;p>","POSTDATE" : "May, 20 2013 17:18:19","LASTMODIFIED" : "May, 20 2013 00:00:00","POSTID" : "######","THREADID" : "######","FAMILY" : "Name","FIRSTNAME" : "Name","SPOUSEFIRST" : "Someone","EMAIL" : something@something&#46;com"},{"THREADTITLE" : "Cool Test","CREATEDDATE" : "May, 20 2013 00:00:00","DESCRIPTION" : "<p>
Ooo that's cool<&#47;p>","POSTDATE" : "June, 11 2013 10:16:17","LASTMODIFIED" : "June, 11 2013 00:00:00","POSTID" : "######","THREADID" : "######","FAMILY" : "Name","FIRSTNAME" : "Name","SPOUSEFIRST" : "Someone","EMAIL" : "Email"}]}
/code

also, here is the generic service implementation...

code
$t&#46;customImp = $t&#46;createClass(null, {
init: function(requestOptions) {
this&#46;__requestOptions = $&#46;extend({}, requestOptions);
},

 process: function(settings) { 
     if (this.__requestOptions.echo) { 
      settings.success(this.__requestOptions.echo); 
     } else { 
         var cdata = getData();// load JSON data from javascript 
      settings.success(cdata);//send it to mapping 
         console.log("done"); 
  } 
 settings.complete('success'); 
 } 

});
/code
the getData() function returns the above JSON string.

I would normally be looking for a mistake for a lot longer than I did, but when I copy and past the response into the automatically create response feature in the generic service, it works smashingly.

Hello! Your code looks correct, but data has an error:
There is a missing quote. Should be code"EMAIL" : "something@something&#46;com"/code instead of code"EMAIL" : something@something&#46;com"/code

Sorry, that was a copy and paste error, I had deleted the actual email address and put in a href="mailto:something@something.com" rel="nofollow"something@something.com/a. That's when the quote went missing. It is in the actual response.

Everything looks correct. Could you give us you public app link so we can test your app and steps to reproduce the problem?

Absolutely, can I send that directly to the support email address then?

Sure, email it to a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a

There is a problem with json you save in data variable. In DESCRIPTION field there are newline and tabulation, that's why json parser doesn't work. You can fix for example setData function:
codefunction setData(value)&#47;&#47;sets data for most custom implementations
{
data = changeJSON(value);
data = data&#46;replace(&#47;[\n\r\t]&#47;g,'');
}/code
Should work after.

Excellent! Thanks Marina!
