我刚刚开始学习Angular.js。如何在Angular.js中重新编写以下代码？

var postData = "<RequestInfo> "
            + "<Event>GetPersons</Event> "         
        + "</RequestInfo>";

    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (req.readyState == 4 || req.readyState == "complete") {
            if (req.status == 200) {
                console.log(req.responseText);
            }
        }
    };

    try {
        req.open('POST', 'http://samedomain.com/GetPersons', false);
        req.send(postData);
    }
    catch (e) {
        console.log(e);
    }

到目前为止，这是我的-

function TestController($scope) {
      $scope.persons = $http({
            url: 'http://samedomain.com/GetPersons',
            method: "POST",
            data: postData,
            headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
        }).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
                $scope.data = data; // how do pass this to $scope.persons?
            }).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
                $scope.status = status;
            });

}

html

<div ng-controller="TestController">    
    <li ng-repeat="person in persons">{{person.name}}</li>
</div>

我的方向正确吗？
