Hi,

I don't think the plugin has any option like that.  But, even if you 
manage to do that how will you ensure that the order of data returned will 
match the order
of grid columns on the client? 

You have two options:
1. Use a List of List on your action class itself so that the order is 
preserved.  The json plugin serialized an Iterable into a JSON array and a 
bean to { name: value,..... } structure. So you will end up having the 
array of array in your JSON as well. 

2. Post process the JSON data on your ajax callback function before 
feeding it to the table. (You also have the order available on client from 
the table declaration, so it should be easy. )

Subject:
Modify JSON Format?



Hi,

I am using JSON plugin to return data to JQuery DataTable, but format
is not compatible with Datatable plugin. I have a collection with a
getter function on my struts2 action that is annotated with @JSON
annotation.  The action returns an array of objects, such as:

{"aaData":[",{"age":2,"breed":"Unkown","gender":"Female","id":2,"name":"Snowflake
2"}, ...}

when what I really wany is an array of arrays:

aaData: [
[ 2, Unknown, Female, 2, Snowflake 2 ],
[ ...] ]

As I understand it, both forms of the notation are valid. Is there any
way to configure the plug in to modify the style/format of JSON to
render the array of arrays without hand rolling my own function to
return the data in a string?

Using struts 2.1.8.1

Thank you.
