Spring-JSON Used in Spring MVC
I stumbled upon the Spring-JSON library while looking to add Ajax support to my spring mvc webapp 2.5.
My question is, has anyone here used this library and what are your impressions?
Is there a better alternative to this?

Perhaps this post - http://www.jroller.com/kaiulrich/entry/a_mappingjacksonjsonview_springframework_and_spring can give you a good idea of which Json View you should choose.
UPDATE
Suppose here is my MultiActionController
import static org.springframework.validation.ValidationUtils.*;
@Component
public class PersonController extends MultiActionController {
/**
* Notice my own JsonView implementation
*/
private JsonView jsonView = new JsonView();
public PersonController() {
setValidators(new Validator[] {new Validator() {
public boolean supports(Class clazz) {
return clazz.isAssignableFrom(Person.class);
}
public void validate(Object command, Errors errors) {
rejectIfEmpty(errors, "age", "", "Age is required");
rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "name", "", "Name is required");
}
}});
}
public ModelAndView add(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Person person) throws Exception {
// do something (save our Person object, for instance)
return new ModelAndView(jsonView);
}
/**
* If something goes wrong (validation, data-binding)
* This method takes care of handling "what goes wrong"
*/
public ModelAndView hanldeBindException(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ServletRequestBindingException bindingException) {
BindException bindException = (BindException) bindingException.getRootCause();
/**
* Notice i am using jsonView to handle the response
*/
return new ModelAndView(jsonView).addAllObjects(bindException.getModel());
}
}
The JsonView implementation is shown as follows
public class JsonView implements View {
@Autowired
private MessageSource messageSource;
public String getContentType() {
return "application/json";
}
public void render(Map model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
for (Object object : bindingResult.getAllErrors()) {
if(object instanceof FieldError) {
FieldError fieldError = (FieldError) object;
jsonObject.put(fieldError.getField(), messageSource.getMessage(fieldError, null));
}
}
writer.print(jsonObject.toString());
writer.close();
}
}
I hope this can be helpful for you.
Here you can see a good tutorial on using Json DOJO (I do not use DOJO)
