I want to know how can I convert a Java object to JSON by using DWR. I have already tried
JsonUtil.toJson(myObject)
, but it gives a NullPointerException
at org.directwebremoting.json.JsonUtil.toJson(JsonUtil.java:127)
. Can anyone tell me any way of converting the Java Object to JSON? I would prefer achieving it by DWR.
Why not use the JSON library itself? JSON
Or even the Google-Gson Library GSON
Also, for further reference, use the Search, since similar questions to this one have been answered...
a few examples:

Converting JSON to Java
You should read the documentation as DWR has a tool that creates Json <-> Java mapping automatically. In fact that is the main purpose of DWR!
Lets consider this java class.
class Employee
{
int id;
String eName;
// setters and getters
}
In javascript JSON object
var employee = {
id : null,
name : null
};
This is the call to java method from javascript function.
EmployeeUtil.getRow(employee,dwrData);
In getRow() of EmployeeUtil class, return type of method will be Employee.
Employee getRow();
So using the setters of Employee set the data.
dwrData is the callback function.
function dwrData(data) {
employee=data;
}
The data returned which is Employee bean will be in callback function.
Just initialize this in javascript JSON object.
Hope this helps ....
