IBM Worklight - Sending HTTP POST request from the client side

Question

I have an application which needs to send an HTTP POST request from the client side to a server every half an hour. The server would then update a database with the parameters sent by the client. My question is how do I initiate a HTTP Post request to the server from the client through Worklight?

Answer 1

Did you try adapters? Namely an http adapter.

Answer 2

You start by reading the server-side development section of the IBM Worklight Getting Started page:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mobile/worklight/getting-started.html#server-side-development

Specifically, these modules:

• HTTP adapter – Communicating with HTTP back-end systems
• Invoking adapter procedures from client applications

Each module has an exercise as well as a sample application.

There is more information in the IBM Worklight Information Center.
