I have a very simple OpenRasta application with a home resource with a single String property called Title (straight from the OpenRasta community community example).
I set up XML and JSON data contracts for this resource as follows:
ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesOfType<Home>()
.AtUri("/home")
.HandledBy<HomeHandler>()
.AsXmlDataContract()
.And.AsJsonDataContract();
From jQuery, I can get JSON data just fine. However, when I make an Ajax jQuery XML request, I return JSON data.
My jQuery code is as follows:
$.ajax(
{
url: "/home",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(result) {
$('#xmlSpan').append($(result).find('Title').text());
},
error: function(request, status, ex) {
$('#xmlSpan').append('error: ');
$('#xmlSpan').append(status + ', ');
$('#xmlSpan').append(ex.toString());
}
});
The error information provided ends as follows:
error: parsererror, TypeError: a is null
But here is the interesting part. From Fiddler, my request looks like this:
GET http://127.0.0.1:51041/home HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:51041
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8

... and my answer is as follows:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"Title":"Foooo!"}
My request comes in as "Accept: application / xml", but the response is "application / json" (and the returned data is obviously json).
