I think its "bundled" with S2 but as a separate jar, so dont get mistaken.
i am a bit reluctant to share my code, which is old and bad, not that because i am cheap or anything, its because there are better and well-thought code out there (as in JSON plug in) and my code has lots of things tied to my project (bad design......). and you know what i just checked back on my tag code. I dont think i am doing anything much different from what your doing. I siimply copied the s:property tag code and replaced the output part of the code. here is the part i replaced.....(my tag mimics the "property" tag) try { if (actualValue != null) { if (!(actualValue instanceof String)) { //if String then treated its as if in JSON format actualValue = JSONUtil.toJSON(actualValue); } writer.write(actualValue.toString()); } else if (defaultValue != null) { writer.write(defaultValue); } } catch (IOException e) { LoggerUtil.BASE_LOGGER.info("error ocurred while writing json: " + actualValue, e); } On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 4:59 PM, Maurizio Cucchiara < maurizio.cucchi...@gmail.com> wrote: > The json plugin is bundled with S2, because previously was on google > code, and one had to download separately > > 2011/1/5 Jim Talbut <jim.tal...@groupgti.com>: > > You are both right. > > > > The tag that I'm using at the moment (which isn't fully tested at all, > got some data issues to sort out first) is just the property tag with the > following modification: > > Object objectValue = getStack().findValue(value, > throwExceptionOnELFailure); > > try { > > actualValue = JSONUtil.serialize( objectValue ); > > } catch( JSONException ex ) { > > LOG.error("Could not convert {} to a JSON serialized value: > {}", objectValue, ex); > > } > > > > Given that I'm using a utility function from the JSON plugin it does seem > to make sense to have that plugin provide this tag. > > > > I've filed a feature request against it ( > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3553), but it doesn't seem to be > a very active project. > > I'm also confused by the fact that this page > https://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/json-plugin.html says that the plugin > is bundled with Struts, although the JSONUtil class is not in struts-core. > > > > Steven, if you have a more complete and tested tag could you be persuaded > to add it to the plugin, or just add what you've got to the bug? > > > > Jim > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Chris Pratt [mailto:thechrispr...@gmail.com] > > Sent: 05 January 2011 02:32 > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Re: JSON Property > > > > The plugin has several things it can do, from parsing JSON to generating > > JSON results.
