I'm using the Javascript Geocoder.
However, according to the documentation found at:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/services.html#GeocodingResponses
: "The GeocoderResults object literal is a JSON object ..."
My java code is fairly simple for example's sake, it is:
JAVA SIDE:
~~~~~~~~~
private void handleCallback(String result, String status,
AjaxRequestTarget target) {
JSONDeserializer<GeocodeResult> deser =new
JSONDeserializer<GeocodeResult>();
deser.use( null, GeocodeResult.class );
String fixedResult = fixResult(result);
System.out.println("fixedResult=["+fixedResult+"]");
GeocodeResult resultObject =
deser.deserialize( fixedResult );
System.out.println("at handleCallBack with result: ["+result
+"] and status:["+status+"] and result object: ["+resultObject+"]");
}
private String fixResult(String result) {
return result.replaceAll("(location.*?)\"b\"(.*?)\"c\"",
"$1\"lat\"$2\"lon\"");
}
HTML SIDE:
~~~~~~~~~
function handleResponse(results, status){
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
var myJSONText = JSON.stringify(results[0], null);
wicketCallBack(myJSONText,status);
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the
following reason: " + status);
}
}
NOTES:
~~~~~~
I'm using ajax for moving the data around, my web framework is wicket
(not GWT), running on tomcat with liferay portal, flexJson on the
server side, and json2.js (from jquery) on the client side.
If there's any other data that you need, I'll be happy to provide it!
I understand that you do not provide the json structure for the latlng
and the latlngbounds object, which is kind of the reason for the post
- why not? I'm sure I'm not the only one that's doing this - moving
data from javascript to java and back is kinda the point of json so
the logic of doing it half way eludes me...
