How to run Java code snippets in MATLAB script

Question

I need to pull JSON info from a web database. The web API has a java interface. For example, to login, the example Java code is: $.ajax({

 url: 'https://mrn.eotpro.net/webapi/jsonp/' + 'Login', 
 dataType: 'jsonp', 
 // Data to be sent along with the request 
 data: { username: 'yourUserName', password: 'yourPassword' }, 
 success: function (json) { 
 // check the status value 
 if (json.status === 0) { 
 // save the access key in a global variable 
 accessKey = json.key; 
 } 
 // Other Activities 
 . . . 
 }, 
 error: function () { 
 // TO DO: when the ajax call failed 
 } 
 });

But HOW to execute this from MATLAB? Specifically, within a .m script. Obviously, I know the login and password. But once I've logged in, how to I query the JSON information to get it into a MATLAB variable? I have seen the JSON parsers in the File Exchange and believe I can use one of them along with the MATLAB 'urlread' function.

I've seen several similar questions in the Answers section here but few replies. Should I be asking the question in a different manner? Or is the answer simply not that straight forward? Any helpful information or guidance would be much appreciated!

Kind regards, Dwayne
