Hi,
I am trying to create a JSONArray from a List of entities and I returning
the jsonArray to the client response. When I receive it on the client side
and try to parse the JSONArray and since I do not know anything about the
entities listed, I am considering them as a JSON Object - but then I get
this exception: org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException: JSONArray[0] is
not a JSONObject.|#]
The code looks like this on the server:
@Path("getmyentities")
@POST
public JSONArray getentities(JSONArray ja) throws NumberFormatException,
Exception {
List<Asset> assetList = new ArrayList<Asset>();
for (int i = 0; i < ja.length(); i++) {
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Entry to for loop");
Long assetid = ja.getLong(i);
Asset entity = assetManager.getAsset(assetid);
assetList.add(entity);
}
JSONArray jarray = new JSONArray(assetList);
return jarray;
}
and on the client it looks like:
ja = resp.getEntity(JSONArray.class);
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Size of json array: " + ja.length());
for (int i = 0; i < ja.length(); i++) {
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Get Entities():");
JSONObject obj = ja.getJSONObject(i);
}
The entities are serializable and they are annotated with JAXB annotations -
but I am definitely missing something .. any ideas please ?
Thanks,
Farjola
