you can use a action and call the action in your button click that can internally call plugin.

Find below post that shows in detail how to call plugin using action

you have to create action in action step register you plugin

and call it through js

js code is

// JavaScript source code

function callthisfunction() {

var ACTION_NAME = "myCustomAction"; // you custom action name

var requestMain = "";

requestMain += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";

requestMain += " <s:Body>";

requestMain += " <Execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";

requestMain += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";

requestMain += " <a:Parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org/.../System.Collections.Generic\">";

requestMain += " <a:RequestId i:nil=\"true\" />";

requestMain += " <a:RequestName>" + ACTION_NAME + "</a:RequestName>";

requestMain += " </request>";

requestMain += " </Execute>";

requestMain += " </s:Body>";

requestMain += "</s:Envelope>";

debugger;

var url = getClientUrl() + "XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

xmlhttp.open("POST", url, true);

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute");

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () { processActionCallingResponse(xmlhttp, getSuccessResponse, getErrorResponse); };

xmlhttp.send(requestMain);

}

function processActionCallingResponse(req, successCallback, errorCallback) {

debugger;

if (req.readyState == 4)/*4 = Complete*/ {

req.onreadystatechange = null;// Potential memory leak issue with IE

if (req.status == 200)/*200 = OK*/ {

successCallback();

}

else {

errorCallback(req.responseXML);

}

}

}

function getClientUrl() {

var strUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();

if (strUrl.substr(strUrl.length - 1) != "/") {

strUrl += "/";

}

return strUrl;

}

function getSuccessResponse() {

}

function getErrorResponse(responseXml) {

debugger;

if (responseXml != null &&

responseXml.firstChild != null && responseXml.firstChild.firstChild != null) {

try {

var bodyNode = responseXml.firstChild.firstChild;

//Retrieve the fault node

for (var i = 0; i < bodyNode.childNodes.length; i++) {

var node = bodyNode.childNodes[i];

//NOTE: This comparison does not handle the case where the XML namespace changes

if ("s:Fault" == node.nodeName) {

for (var j = 0; j < node.childNodes.length; j++) {

var faultStringNode = node.childNodes[j];

if ("faultstring" == faultStringNode.nodeName) {

alert("Error while Copy Opportunity: " + faultStringNode.textContent);

break;

}

}

break;

}

}

} catch (e) {

alert("Error");

};

} else {

alert("Error");

}

}

Hi,

I have implemented this concept long time back. you can go through my blog.

crmposts.blogspot.in/.../calling-actions-through-java-script.html

you will find a sample of JavaScript containing a complete XML format along with the call to soap service.

two steps are require to do in JavaScript

1) create JavaScript and create a soap envelop

2) Call soap service

create an action, you can send and receive response through parameter.

Please mark my answer correct, if you find so.

Thanks

Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,

I tried your method. I am not getting responseXml or error message. Here is my code.

function callAction()

{

alert('I am in');

var entityId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

alert('entityId : ' + entityId );

var entityName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName();

alert('entityName : ' + entityName );

var requestName = "new_recalculateproductprice";

alert("requestName : " + requestName);

// Creating the request XML for calling the Action

/*var requestXML = ""

requestXML += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";

requestXML += " <s:Body>";

requestXML += " <Execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";

requestXML += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";

requestXML += " <a:Parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org/.../System.Collections.Generic\">";

requestXML += " <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <b:key>Target</b:key>";

requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"a:EntityReference\">";

requestXML += " <a:Id>"+entityId+"</a:Id>";

requestXML += " <a:LogicalName>"+entityName+"</a:LogicalName>";

alert("requestXML : " + requestXML);

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.send(requestXML);

//Get the Response from the CRM Execute method

//var response = req.responseXML.xml;

req.onerror = function (e) {

alert(req.statusText);

};

if (req.status === 200) {

alert(req.responseText);

}

}

function GetClientUrl() {

alert('i am in in client url');

if (typeof Xrm.Page.context == "object") {

clientUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();

}

var ServicePath = "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";

alert("ServicePath : " + ServicePath);

return clientUrl + ServicePath;

}

Hi Fawad Ali,

I tried your code too. But no luck. Here is my code based on your suggestion. Kindly check it and let me know your comments.

function callAction() {

alert("hello from action");

var entityId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

alert('entityId : ' + entityId );

var entityName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName();

alert('entityName : ' + entityName );

var requestName = "new_recalculateproductprice";

alert("requestName : " + requestName);

var ACTION_NAME = "new_recalculateproductprice"; // you custom action name

var requestMain = "";

requestMain += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";

requestMain += " <s:Body>";

requestMain += " <Execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";

requestMain += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";

requestMain += " <a:Parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org/.../System.Collections.Generic\"><a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType><b:key>Target</b:key><b:value i:type=\"a:EntityReference\"><a:Id>" + entityId + "</a:Id><a:LogicalName>" + entityName + "</a:LogicalName><a:Name i:nil=\"true\"/></b:value></a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType></a:Parameters>";

requestMain += " <a:RequestId i:nil=\"true\" />";

requestMain += " <a:RequestName>" + ACTION_NAME + "</a:RequestName>";

requestMain += " </request>";

requestMain += " </Execute>";

requestMain += " </s:Body>";

requestMain += "</s:Envelope>";

debugger;

alert(requestMain);

var url = getClientUrl() + "XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";

alert(url);

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

xmlhttp.open("POST", url, true);

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute");

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () { processActionCallingResponse(xmlhttp, getSuccessResponse, getErrorResponse); };

xmlhttp.send(requestMain);

}

function processActionCallingResponse(req, successCallback, errorCallback) {

debugger;

if (req.readyState == 4)/*4 = Complete*/ {

req.onreadystatechange = null;// Potential memory leak issue with IE

if (req.status == 200)/*200 = OK*/ {

successCallback(req.responseXML);

}

else {

//errorCallback(req.responseXML);

errorCallback(req.responseText);

}

}

}

function getClientUrl() {

var strUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();

if (strUrl.substr(strUrl.length - 1) != "/") {

strUrl += "/";

}

return strUrl;

}

function getSuccessResponse() {

alert("Success Response : " + responseXml);

}

function getErrorResponse(responseXml) {

debugger;

alert("Error Response : " + responseXml);

}

Hi Ganesamoorthy Pandian,

first copy your plugin logic and make a custom workflow and paste that logic in custom workflow, means you have to register workflow not plugin.

if you already done this.

then create an action and "Add Step" your custom workflow.

then call action "new_recalculateproductprice"

we can also send argument from web-resource to custom workflow. and return parameter from custom workflow to web-resource.

this is a little tedious job so send me your dev org credential and your plugin code

to my email "fawad14414@gmail.com" i will done it for you.

thanks,
