Reload User Rest Object

[Jeremy Guillory]

I am looking at the phone book sample gadget and trying to figure out how to get the phonebook to update without reloading the entire Finesse webpage.  I have tried to create a new finesse.restservices.User to reload the phonebook but the onLoad function never fires.  I have also tried to reload the entire gadget using containerServices.reloadMyGadgetFromUrl().  This will reload the gadget but it does not appear to grab the modified phonebook. 

Does anyone know of a way to reinitialize the gadget similar to hitting the refresh button in the browser using code?

If you are only trying to reload the phone book, you might try just refreshing the data.

Here, the user object is initiated for the REST calls.

user = new finesse.restservices.User

It is then called on load. You could call this a second time, when you need to.

_phoneBooks = user.getPhoneBooks({

  onLoad : _handlePhoneBooksLoaded,

  onError : _handlePhoneBooksError

  });
