Return PageReference from a webservice method

I have a custom button that executes javascript.

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/apex.js")}
sforce.apex.execute("TestClass","CreateTestRecords", {id:"{!Case.Id}"});

 

In my apex class I want to return a PageReference to the same page from where the custom button was clicked (refreshing the page).  Is that possible using a webservice static method?

 

global class TestClass {
	
	WebService static void CreateTestRecords(String caseId) {
		List<Fulfillment__c> fulfillmentsToCreate = [select Id from Fulfillment__c where Case__c =: caseId];
		
		if(!fulfillmentsToCreate.isEmpty() && fulfillmentsToCreate.size() > 0) {
			insert fulfillmentsToCreate;
		}

	}
}

 

I was trying to avoid using a VF page and just handle everything in a controller.  Is that possible?

 

Thanks.

I have a very similar issue with webservice.

 

maybe we can use JS to refernce the user to the right page...?

In your Class use a String as a Returntype

 

and create your reference like this in your webservice class

 

 

return String.valueOf( new PageReference('/'+Case.Id).getUrl());

 

and in your Button, you have to catch your return String and reload the page:

 

var newurl = sforce.apex.execute("TestClass","CreateTestRecords", {id:"{!Case.Id}"});
parent.location.href = newurl; //refresh the page
