Let's say I make an Ajax server-side call using jQuery like this:
$.ajax({
url: "/myapp/fetchUser?username=" + username,
type : "get",
dataType : "json",
data : ''
}).done(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
}
On the server-side, in Java, the fetchUser endpoint retrieves a JSON-serialized UserT object from the database. This object can either exist or be NULL. When the object exists, the code successfully executes the JS logic within .done(function(data) {..}. However, when the object returned is NULL, the JS code inside .done(function(data) ..) does not run.
Is there a way to handle a NULL response in jQuery? Currently, the execution halts if the response is NULL.
