How to execute apex method from javascript in VF page?

Hi,

 

In my project, i have the below scenario. On Case object, two custom buttons used. For those two custom buttons, they used Visual force pages.

 

On loading the page, it executes the corresponding action method. Like below:

 

<apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="Case_Remake_Repair_Controller" action="{!remake}">

 

Now, on defining custom button, behaviour is selected as "Open in a new window" and displaying some status message as:

"Your REMAKE has been sent to ECC."


Now, i want to show this message instead of new window, as an alert message in javascript.
I thought of using Javascript here. And the behaviour is: Onclick - Execute javascript.

 

Now, please suggest me how to call the above apex method in javascript while clicking on the custom button.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Kumar

Well, you can use the Apex Toolkit to call Apex methods from Javascript.

If i get it right, you want ot call a controller method from java script...

If that is the case then you can use action function component which can call controller method from java script.

 

You may hHave a look at this example,

Refer to the example in the following link.

Please make sure that the profiles get proper permission to the apex class that is being called.
