[visualization-api] Using asmx web service as chart tools data source

[James Campbell]

Hi,

I am trying to use a asmx web service as my charts data source. My web
service can successfully receive GET requests however it always returns a
response in XML. I have read several articles online claiming that the only
way for a asmx web service to return a response in JSON is that the request
must be POST, but this won't work as I understand in order to implement the
chart tools datasource protocol it needs to accept GET.

I am just wondering if anyone else has successfully implemented a asmx web
service as their chart tools data source or if it is even possible. If
someone could confirm then I can post my code and maybe see where I am
going wrong.

Thanks

I have solved the problem and it turns out that a asmx web service can be
used as a data source and can in fact return JSON as the result of a GET
request.

If anyone else stumbles across this with the same problem, feel free to
post a comment and I will try and help.
