What's the best way to make a webservices in joomla? - php

Question

Hi guys today I have a interesting question.
What's the best way to make a webservices in joomla?
I'm trying to make a web services in joomla and I have following problem:
in the controller of the view: components/com_webservice/view/view.json.php
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
jimport('joomla.application.component.view');
class WebServicesViewServices extends JViewLegacy {
private $data;
function __construct($config = array()) {
JLoader::import('models.services', JPATH_COMPONENT);
$model = new WebServicesModelServices();
if ($model->errors) {
echo json_encode($model->errors);
jexit();
}else{
$this->data = array('iphone' => '5s','iphone' => '6','iphone' => '6s','iphone' => '6s plus');
}
parent::__construct($config);
}
function display($tpl = null) {
echo json_encode($this->data);
}
}
?>
The problem is, if I execute: curl http://wsn.jserver/index.php?option=com_services&format=json
to consume this services, this response me

Answer 1

Have you checked the JoomlaTools Framework? From the linked page:
Designed around the HTTP protocol. Each component automatically provides a level 3 JSON REST API out of the box, no extra coding required.

Answer 2

Solved!
I've found the problem.
The problem is because joomla to do a redirect to select language by default.
In my case, I've been duplicate the plugin languagefilter and validated that no be the option="com_services"
then when I execute the command "curl -v http://wsn.jserver/index.php?option=com_webervices" the response is:
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to wsn.pawad (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)

{"iphone":"5s", "iphone":"6", "iphone":"6s", "iphone":"6s plus"}
In conclusion, the problem is because joomla to do a redirect. to solved this problem you can hack the plugin languagefilter: plugins/system/languagefilter/languagefilter.php or create a new plugin.
