What I meant was either to use Json Plugin for struts 2. Read the following Wiki page:
http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/json-plugin.html The JSON plugin is bundled with Struts since 2.1.7. Or you can write your customized Struts 2 Result type for JSON and register it in your struts2.xml for use [does not make sense to do that if you are using 2.1.7+]. To learn how to do that, take a look at the a sample provided in struts 2 in action. That should do it as well. Hope this helps. --- On Tue, 10/27/09, Michael Varlik <m.var...@gmx.de> wrote: > From: Michael Varlik <m.var...@gmx.de> > Subject: Re: RE: Adding Json to existing action > To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> > Received: Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 3:50 PM > I just noticed a mistake I made.
