here is my code working with some JSON Web services.
function callAjax() { LITHIUM.jQuery.ajax({ url: "${ajaxURL}", dataType: 'jsonp', jsonp: 'callback', jsonpCallback: 'callbackFunctionOnceJsonpReturnedProperly', timeout: ${ajaxTimeout}, success: function(){ //alert("success"); }, error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { ....... } }); } function callbackFunctionOnceJsonpReturnedProperly(data, textStatus, xhr){ if (typeof (data) == 'undefined' || data == null) { alert("jsonpCallback object is null"); return; } var username = data["username"]; }

We think that Lithium should provide a way to pull external data in server side using Freemarker. Please support our Idea here http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Ideas/Access-to-external-data-sources-via-a-custom-component-endpoint/idi-p/61442
Thanks

I added my support to your idea. In my particular situation, I would love to retrieve data from an external RSS feed and display it within a component.
