Answer 1

Use the ajax.dataSrc callback for preprocessing the response :

$('#example').dataTable( {
  serverSide: true,
  ajax: {
    url: "path/to/server",
    dataSrc: function(json) {
       json['recordsTotal'] = json['totalElements'];
       json['recordsFiltered'] = json['numberOfElements'];
       return json;
    }
  }
});
