Getting JSON object from Java in Struts 2

Question

I am trying to get response text from Java server using getJSON() jQuery method. Although, I can get response data when the Java class has a simple format: (String, List and Map), I could not get success data when using other Java objects.

The following is an Java class, which is using a simple type, and I get the success result with data that works:

package com.awitd.framework.action;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action;

public class getAllJson implements Action{

private String data;

public String getData() {
    return data;
}

public void setData(String data) {
    this.data = data;
}

public String execute() {
    System.out.println(" this is from action");
    data = "[";
            data += "{";
            data += "\"objid\":\"" + "1" + "\",";
            data += "\"id\":\"" + "1" + "\",\"name\":\"" + "name" + "\"";
            data += "}"; System.out.println("data " + data);
        
    data += "]";
    
    return SUCCESS;
}


}

The following is an Java class, which is using other Java object, and it doesn't return a success data:

package com.awitd.framework.action;

import java.util.List;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action;
import com.awitd.framework.entity.Employee;
import com.awitd.framework.entity.Profile;
import com.awitd.framework.service.EmployeeService;
public class getAllJson implements Action{

private String data;

private EmployeeService employeeService;



private List<Employee> employeeList;
private Employee employee;
private Profile profile;
public String getData() {
    return data;
}

public void setData(String data) {
    this.data = data;
}

public EmployeeService getEmployeeService() {
    return employeeService;
}

public void setEmployeeService(EmployeeService employeeService) {
    this.employeeService = employeeService;
}

public String execute() {
    System.out.println(" this is from action");
    data = "[";
            /*data += "{";
            data += "\"objid\":\"" + "1" + "\",";
            data += "\"id\":\"" + "1" + "\",\"name\":\"" + "name" + "\"";
            data += "}"; System.out.println("data " + data);*/
        

    
    employeeList = employeeService.getAll();    
    System.out.println("size........"+employeeList.size()); 
    if (!employeeList.isEmpty()) {
        for (int i=0; i<employeeList.size(); i++) {
            employee = employeeList.get(i);
            profile = employee.getProfile();
            data += "{";
            data += "\"objid\":\"" + employee.getEmployeeId() + "\",";
            data += "\"id\":\"" + employee.getId() + "\",\"name\":\"" + employee.getName() + "\"";
            data += ",\"dob\":\"" + profile.getDob() + "\",\"sex\":\"" + profile.getSex() + "\"";
            data += ",\"email\":\"" + profile.getEmail() + "\",\"workstart\":\"" + profile.getWorkstart() + "\"";
            data += ",\"study\":\"" + profile.getStudySub() + "\",\"jplevel\":\"" + profile.getJpLevel() + "\"";
            data += ",\"jpgroup\":\"" + profile.getJpGroup() + "\",\"remark\":\"" + profile.getRemark() + "\"";
            data += "}";
            if (!(i==employeeList.size()-1))
                data += ","; 
        }
    }
    data += "]";
    
    
    
    
    return SUCCESS;
}


 }

Got this error:

InvocationTargetException is just an abstraction layer over the real error. Please find the real error down the stacktrace (caused by... ) and post it here — Andrea Ligios

Try the following code, it should fix the error

data += "{";
data += "\"objid\":\"" + employee.getEmployeeId() + "\",";
data += "\"id\":\"" + employee.getId() + "\",\"name\":\"" + employee.getName() + "\",";
data += ",\"dob\":\"" + profile.getDob() + "\",\"sex\":\"" + profile.getSex() + "\",";
data += ",\"email\":\"" + profile.getEmail() + "\",\"workstart\":\"" + profile.getWorkstart() + "\",";
data += ",\"study\":\"" + profile.getStudySub() + "\",\"jplevel\":\"" + profile.getJpLevel() + "\",";
data += ",\"jpgroup\":\"" + profile.getJpGroup() + "\",\"remark\":\"" + profile.getRemark() + "\"";
data += "}";

I can't even use "EmployeeService employeeService" I tried by using simple query that was OK!. So I think the JSON writer can't cast employeeservice to JSON type object.

You shouldn't use json result to serialize employeeService. See how to exclude properties from process here.
