How to asynchronously call server-side function from the client in a UI page

Mohammad1 · ‎09-15-2020

Hi all,

I have a UI Page with a function in the server side (in the Processing Code section). I need to write code in the client script section to asynchronously call the server side function. How can I do that? Thank you in advance for your help.

The same way you would call a from a Client Script, can you give a try.

Hi,

You can achieve this by using the glideAjax and client callable script include.

Refer below link

Hi Mohammad,

you cannot call the function present in processing script directly from the UI page client script.

if you are using <g:ui_form> and submitting then the processing script would execute by default

please explain in detail what needs to happen

Thanks for your answer. It seems that it is not possible to do so. I solve my issue by calling a script include.
