Jalbum java error9/23/2023 ![]() ![]() RPC works well out of the box, but there are some differences especially if you're coming from ASP.NET AJAX service or WCF Rest when it comes to multiple parameters. In any case Web API does a good job of providing both RPC abstraction as well as the HTTP Verb/REST abstraction. Proper REST has its place - for 'real' API scenarios that manage and publish/share resources, but for more transactional operations RPC seems a better choice and much easier to implement than trying to shoehorn a boatload of endpoint methods into a few HTTP verbs. It might not be what the cool kids do, but I don't see RPC calls getting replaced by proper REST APIs any time soon. Web applications that have needs for things like live validation against data, filling data based on user inputs, handling small UI updates often don't lend themselves very well to limited HTTP verb usage. RPC might not be considered 'cool' anymore, but for typical private AJAX backend operations of a Web site I'd wager that a large percentage of use cases of Web API will fall towards RPC style calls rather than 'proper' REST style APIs. verbs to implicitly determine what operation needs to be fired. Typically RPC calls - like SOAP calls - tend to always be POST operations rather than following HTTP conventions and using the GET/POST/PUT/DELETE etc. Rather than mapping explicit server side resources or 'nouns' RPC calls tend simply map a server side operation, passing in parameters and receiving a typed result where parameters and result values are marshaled over HTTP. ![]() RPC style HTTP calls mimic calling a method with parameters and returning a result. But RPC style calls that are common with AJAX callbacks in Web applications, have gotten a lot less focus and there are a few scenarios that are not that obvious, especially if you're expecting Web API to provide functionality similar to ASP.NET AJAX style AJAX callbacks. While Web API provides many new features and makes many scenarios much easier, a lot of the focus has been on making it easier to build REST compliant APIs that are focused on resource based solutions and HTTP verbs. Web API addresses many of the concerns that developers had with these older APIs, namely that it was very difficult to build consistent REST style resource APIs easily. This new API provides a host of new great functionality that unifies many of the features of many of the various AJAX/REST APIs that Microsoft created before it - ASP.NET AJAX, WCF REST specifically - and combines them into a whole more consistent API. If you are looking for specific information you can use the wiki 'Search button’, on the left, to find pages where the search term is Web API introduces a new API for creating REST APIs and making AJAX callbacks to the server. A common example is rows and columns on the pages settings responsive design means that the number of columns of thumbnails will vary with the display width. When a skin does not support a setting the tool-tip for disabled control will say "Disabled by current skin". ![]() Many skins are designed to support most of the settings available, but skin designers can choose to deactivate specific control settings. Create your first JAlbum with the desktop app.Once you have created your account send an email to anca at jAlbum, he will provide write access to the wiki. Skin developers can also host their skin's documentation here or just link to their own online documentation. JAlbum users are welcome to open a wiki account, using their jAlbum account username, and contribute to the wiki documentation. Note, if you click on a link to another page you will be taken to the current version of that page, so you will need to select the appropriate historical edit for that page too. ![]() You can also see what the changes were between that page and the previous/next edit by clicking on the appropriate '(diff)' link, the changes will be highlighted for easy identification. That shows the first edit of that page after Novemwas 16 December 2017, click on that date link to read the version of that page. To read the manual page for Settings/Pages you must navigate to the current page and then click on the 'History' tab just above the pages title - the 'Article' tab is selected by default. To read a specific page relating to a specific version of jAlbum you need to establish the release date for that version, you can see version release dates here, for example, jAlbum 15 was released on November 18, 2017. Note: In the free version you can only change skin and its style. ![]()
