Steps to Reproduce

  1. Include the Mashup code used in a JSP file as below:

    <script src ='/prweb/IAC/?host=<%=host%>&pyActivity=pzIncludeMashupScripts'></script>
    <div id="IACGadget"
    data-pega-gadgetname ='IACGadget' 
    data-pega-action ='OpenWorkByURL' 
    data-pega-action-param-query='[email protected]'
    data-pega-action-param-model ='' 
    data-pega-action-param-readonly ='false'
    data-pega-isdeferloaded ='false' 
    data-pega-applicationname ='MTKBPMApp' 
    data-pega-threadname ='<%=threadId%>' 
    data-pega-resizetype ='stretch' 
    data-pega-url ='/prweb/IAC/' 
    data-pega-action-param-parameters ="{'pzSkinName':'MTEKApplicationSkin','pyMashupSkeletonName':'pyDefaultMashupSkeleton'"></div>

     
  2. Reference a custom JavaScript file in the JSP file.
  3. Use the code as below to obtain the Gadget data in the JavaScript file:

    pega.web.api.doAction("IACGadget", "getGadgetData", "[pyWorkPage.pzInsKey]")


Root Cause



For DOMException, in the Mashup snippet, the 'data-pega-url' attribute is specified as '/prweb/IAC/', which resulted in the error.

For more information, refer to: https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/pega-web-mashup/pega-web-mashup-page-javascript-actions#getgadgetdata.

Square brackets must be included if Data Binding (as below) is used.


pega.web.api.doAction("myGadget", "getGadgetData", "[gadget/myGadget/.pxCreateOpName]")

This must be referred as pega.web.api.doAction("myGadget", "getGadgetData", "[.pxCreateOpName]")

Data Binding syntax:

[page/id/elementName]

[page/name/elementName]

[page/function/token]

[gadget/gadgetName/property]



Resolution



Here’s the explanation for the reported behavior:

For DOMException, in the Mashup snippet, specify the complete URL (including the domain name) for the 'data-pega-url' attribute.

Use the below syntax when the doAction(getGadgetData) is undefined:

Pega.web.api.doAction(:IACGadget”,”getGadgetData”,”pyWorkPage.pzInsKey”,{callback:function(){debugger;alert(‘calling back…’); debugger;}})
