Im doing a sample application using dojo and json.

I have 2 classes:
1. Book class
package com.esolaria.do joex;

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import org.json.JSONObject;
  2. import org.json.JSONException;
  3.  
  4. public class Book {
  5.  
  6.     private int bookId;
  7.     private String title;
  8.     private String isbn;
  9.     private String author;
  10.  
  11.  
  12.     public Book(int bookId, String title, String isbn, String author) {
  13.         this.bookId = bookId;

  24.         return this.bookId;
  25.     }
  26.  
  27.     public void setTitle(String title) {
  28.         this.title = title;
  29.     }

  40.  
  41.     public void setAuthor(String author) {
  42.         this.author = author;
  43.     }
  44.     public String getAuthor() {
  45.         return this.author;

  48.     public String toJSONString() throws JSONException {
  49.         JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject();
  50.         jsonObj.put("bookId", new Integer(this.bookId));
  51.         jsonObj.put("title", this.title);
  52.         jsonObj.put("isbn", this.isbn);
  53.         jsonObj.put("author", this.author);
  54.         return jsonObj.toString();
  55.     }
  56.  
  57. }

hi ...

for that purpose you have to create the respective tr, td and textnodes and append it to the table ... you should use the:

- createElement() ;
- createTextNode( );
- appendChild();

dom-methods for this. have a look here ... there you find more information about dom-interfaces ...

kind regards

Wait a sec...is this the right forum to post this question? I was wondering why you were using "private" and "public" -- that's JAVA not JavaScript. Looks like you got your answer, but I wonder if this post shouldn't be moved to the Languages - JAVA forum instead.

LOL, I stopped reading after I saw the JAVA code. I gotta stop jumping to conclusions. :-)

Any JSON experts out there? I'd like to know if it is possible, and if so how, to iterate through a JSON property list so that each iteration selects the next value for each object. Here is an example list: function myFunction() { createDOM({ 'id' : , 'dom' : , 'parent' : "content", 'form' : ,

As usual, an overly-long, overly-explanatory post. Better too much info than too little, right? A couple weeks ago, I asked for some assistance iterating through a JSON property list so that my code would either select the next value in the member list or the single value. The original post can be found here. This is the code gits helped me write: for (var i = 0; i < attribList.id.length; i++) { var attrib = {};
