I am new to jQuery and finding difficulty in displaying data from my servlet to jqGrid in my jsp. I have used google gson to convert data from ArrayList to a String variable json. It's displaying json data in the console when I run the project and displaying an empty grid.
Student.java
package com
public class Student {
private String name;
private String mark;
private String address;
//getter and setters
StudentDataService.java
package com;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.Student;
public class StudentDataService {
public static List<Student> getStudentList() {
List<Student> listOfStudent = new ArrayList<Student>();
Student aStudent = new Student();
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
aStudent = new Student();
aStudent.setName("R" + i);
aStudent.setMark("20" + i);
aStudent.setAddress("pune "+i);
listOfStudent.add(aStudent);
}
return listOfStudent;
}
}
My servlet code:
StudentDataServlet.java
package com;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.List;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;
import com.Student;
import com.StudentDataService;
/**
* Servlet implementation class StudentDataServlet
*/
public class StudentDataServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public StudentDataServlet() {
super();
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("application/json");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
List<Student> lisOfStudent = StudentDataService.getStudentList();
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
String json = gson.toJson(lisOfStudent);
out.print(json);
System.out.println(json);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request, response);
}
}
My JSP page:
slickGridDemo.jsp

I had the same issue initially. I solved like converting json into local data, This is how i am populating json data into jqgrid. It may helps you.
Let me know if you need further assistance in getting data from jsp page.
Updated Ans :
I am using jsp for formatting the List data to json array. The piece of code is given below. You need to add json object jar file for this purpose.
change your colModel name and index same as the pojo class variables name.
