Intel XDK web services parameter types Array

Hi,

I try to create web service method to upload parameter as JSON data through Ajax POST.

It is working fine with a single "string" parameter, but not "Array" type.

Could anyone help?

This is the mywebservicemethod.json file:

{
"endpoints": [
{
"name": "Update interests catergories",
"methods": [
{
"MethodName": "updateInterests",
"Synopsis": "Update interests",
"parameters": [
{
"Name": "newInterestedCategories",
"Required": "Y",
"Default": [],
"Type": "array",
"Description": "categories array"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

And in mywebservicemethod.js file, I try to read parameter:

var categories = params.newInterestedCategories;

in ajax call, it is converted to JSON:

data: JSON.stringify( {"newInterestedCategories":categories} ),

Under Explore Services, I typed in ["News"] as Value of parameter.

In the end, the ajax call send this as captured by Fiddle:

{"newInterestedCategories":"[\"News\"]"}

What I want is {"newInterestedCategories":["News"]}

By the way, angularjs is referenced in the project.

Thanks very much!

Qiang
