json - Angular 2 method is not subscribing to the observable -

i'm trying json data using service class. service class

import { injectable }     from '@angular/core'; import { http, httpmodule, response } from '@angular/http'; import { generaltab }     from './generaltab'; import 'rxjs/rx'; import { observable }     from 'rxjs/observable';   @injectable() export class generaltabservice {      constructor(private _http : http) {          console.log("http call");     }     getstatus(): observable<any>  {     return      this._http.get('http://samd.server.lan.at/taskmanagement/rest/taskconfigs/ind?language=en&access_token=200')          .map((res:response) => <generaltab[]>res.json())          .do(data => console.log("all: " +  json.stringify(data)))          .catch(this.handleerror);  }   private handleerror (error: any) {          let errmsg = (error.message) ? error.message :         error.status ? `${error.status} - ${error.statustext}` : 'server error';         return observable.throw(errmsg);   } } 

component class

import { component, oninit } from '@angular/core'; import {generaltab} from "./generaltab"; import {generaltabservice} from "./generaltab.service"; import { observable } from 'rxjs/observable';      @component({         selector: 'general-tab',         templateurl: '/general.component.html',         providers : [generaltabservice]      })      export class generalcomponent implements oninit{         title = 'serving data general component';          errormessage: any;         status: generaltab [];         mode = 'observable';          constructor (private generalservice: generaltabservice) {             this.status = [];         }          ngoninit() {             console.log("started");             this.generalservice.getstatus().subscribe(                 (status: any) => this.status = status,                 (error: any) =>  this.errormessage = error             );             console.log(this.status);         }      } 

generaltab class

export class generaltab {      constructor(public recipientid : string,     public recipientname: string,     public recipientfullname: string,     public ouid:string,     public ouname:string,     public institute:number,     public shortname:string,     public status:string)     {     } } 

i see in console .do(data => console.log("all:" +  json.stringify(data))) getting me json data

{"subjectsconfig":[{"subject":"client data maintenance","preselected":false,"initialduedate":"2016-11-24","actionconfigs":[{"action":"send","recipients":[{"user":{"recipientid":"bd27a4f5923fca13","recipientname":"abtabt","recipientfullname":"abtabt","ouid":"bd27a4f5923fca13","ouname":"0015",....

subscribe not assigning data status array , i'm getting blank "status" array. want data array in status variable testing purpose. how get?

if log response

 console.log("started");  this.generalservice.getstatus().subscribe(          (status: any) => this.status = status,          (error: any) =>  this.errormessage = error  );  console.log(this.status); 

of course see blank status since above code(getstatus().subscribe) async. meaning making request waiting response inside subscribe , when comes, assign status this.status. while waiting logging(this.status) blank.

instead try , check log,

 console.log("started");  this.generalservice.getstatus().subscribe(        (status: any) => {             this.status = status;             console.log(this.status);        },        (error: any) =>  this.errormessage = error  );
