I think (actually I KNOW!) I'm doing something wrong here I am trying to populate some values into HashMap and add each hasmap to a list which will be added to a JSON object:
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
try
{
Map address;
List addresses = new ArrayList();
int count = 15;
for (int i=0 ; i<count ; i++)
{
address = new HashMap();
address.put("CustomerName" , "Decepticons" + i);
address.put("AccountId" , "1999" + i);
address.put("SiteId" , "1888" + i);
address.put("Number" , "7" + i);
address.put("Building" , "StarScream Skyscraper" + i);
address.put("Street" , "Devestator Avenue" + i);
address.put("City" , "Megatron City" + i);
address.put("ZipCode" , "ZZ00 XX1" + i);
address.put("Country" , "CyberTron" + i);
addresses.add(address);
}
json.put("Addresses", addresses);
}
catch (JSONException jse)
{
}
response.setContentType("application/json");
response.getWriter().write(json.toString());
My problem is I know this is returning a string, which I cannot seem to parse (which is the problem). My question is how do I return the actual JSON encoded string (or even should I be doing this?) or what is the best method of attack for this type of problem. The JavaScript I am using for this is below:
function getReadyStateHandler(req)
{
// Return an anonymous function that listens to the
// XMLHttpRequest instance
return function ()
{
// If the request's status is "complete"
if (req.readyState == 4)
{
// Check that a successful server response was received
if (req.status == 200)
{
msgBox("JSON Response recieved...");
populateDatagrid(req.responseText.toJSON());
}
else
{
// An HTTP problem has occurred
alert("HTTP error: " + req.status);
}
}
}
}
Note the JSON Response comes back fine, but its a string. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am also opening to using googles Gson, but don't have too much knowledge on that.
Got it working! I should have been building a JSONArray
of JSONObject
s and then add the array to a final "Addresses" JSONObject
. Observe the following:
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
JSONArray addresses = new JSONArray();
JSONObject address;
try
{
int count = 15;
for (int i=0 ; i<count ; i++)
{
address = new JSONObject();
address.put("CustomerName" , "Decepticons" + i);
address.put("AccountId" , "1999" + i);
address.put("SiteId" , "1888" + i);
address.put("Number" , "7" + i);
address.put("Building" , "StarScream Skyscraper" + i);
address.put("Street" , "Devestator Avenue" + i);
address.put("City" , "Megatron City" + i);
address.put("ZipCode" , "ZZ00 XX1" + i);
address.put("Country" , "CyberTron" + i);
addresses.add(address);
}
json.put("Addresses", addresses);
}
catch (JSONException jse)
{
}
response.setContentType("application/json");
response.getWriter().write(json.toString());
This worked and returned valid and parse-able JSON. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future. Thanks for your help Marcel
I used JSONObject as shown below in Servlet.
JSONObject jsonReturn = new JSONObject();
NhAdminTree = AdminTasks.GetNeighborhoodTreeForNhAdministrator( connection, bwcon, userName);
map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("Status", "Success");
map.put("FailureReason", "None");
map.put("DataElements", "2");
jsonReturn = new JSONObject();
jsonReturn.accumulate("Header", map);
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add(NhAdminTree);
list.add(userName);
jsonReturn.accumulate("Elements", list);
The Servlet returns this JSON object as shown below:
response.setContentType("application/json");
response.getWriter().write(jsonReturn.toString());
This Servlet is called from Browser using AngularJs as below
$scope.GetNeighborhoodTreeUsingPost = function(){
alert("Clicked GetNeighborhoodTreeUsingPost : " + $scope.userName );
$http({
method: 'POST',
url : 'http://localhost:8080/EPortal/xlEPortalService',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
data : {
'action': 64,
'userName' : $scope.userName
}
}).success(function(data, status, headers, config){
alert("DATA.header.status : " + data.Header.Status);
alert("DATA.header.FailureReason : " + data.Header.FailureReason);
alert("DATA.header.DataElements : " + data.Header.DataElements);
alert("DATA.elements : " + data.Elements);
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
alert(data + " : " + status + " : " + headers + " : " + config);
});
};
This code worked and it is showing correct data in alert dialog box:
Data.header.status : Success
Data.header.FailureReason : None
Data.header.DetailElements : 2
Data.Elements : Coma seperated string values i.e. NhAdminTree, userName
