Using DOJO with RESTful web services - asp.net

Question

I have built a RESTful web service using ASP.NET HttpHandler, when running the web service project im redirected to the default page from which I can choose to download the DOJO code for my Client app.
here is a code snippet from the downloaded file:
function PickrWebService(){ self = this; }
PickrWebService.prototype = {
self: null,
urlString: "http://AYMAN/Handler.ashx",
CreateUser:function(Email,Username,Password,FirstName,Surname,Birth,Gender,Mobile,Picture,Address,successFunction,failFunction,token) {
var data = { 'interface': 'PickrWebService', 'method': 'CreateUser', 'parameters': {'Email':Email,'Username':Username,'Password':Password,'FirstName':FirstName,'Surname':Surname,'Birth':Birth,'Gender':Gender,'Mobile':Mobile,'Picture':Picture,'Address':Address}, 'token': token };
var jsonData = dojo.toJson(data);
var xhrArgs = {
url: self.urlString,
handleAs: 'json',
postData: jsonData,
load: successFunction,
error: failFunction };
var deferred = dojo.xhrPost(xhrArgs);
},
CheckUserExistence:function(Email,successFunction,failFunction,token) {
var data = { 'interface': 'PickrWebService', 'method': 'CheckUserExistence', 'parameters': {'Email':Email}, 'token': token };
var jsonData = dojo.toJson(data);
var xhrArgs = {
url: self.urlString,
handleAs: 'json',
postData: jsonData,
load: successFunction,
error: failFunction };
var deferred = dojo.xhrPost(xhrArgs);
}
}
I need help on how to use this code in my client app, and what does the parameter 'token' refer to?

Answer 1

The code is a javascript object for you service which you can call the webservice, by invoking the methods. token is not the part of dojo.xhrPost, it might be from the ASP.Net for passing authentication token. If you have not setup the security on the service, you could ignore it.
var successFunction = function(args){
//Handle the success response.
}
var failFunction= function(err){
//Handle the failure response.
}
var service = new PickrWebService();
service.createUser(Email,Username,Password,
FirstName,Surname,Birth,Gender,Mobile,Picture,Address,successFunction,failFunction);
Apart from the above code, you need to add the dojo api in you client.
