DWR Custom Objects not being read correctly

[gokninski]

Hello there,

I am using DWR to convert an array of objects (called Rhasset.java) from JavaScript to the back-end. Simple arrays of Strings work, the individual Rhasset object also works but when I send an array of Rhasset objects than the element data looks as follows:

[{name:reference:c0-e2, value:reference:c0-e3}]

The 'name' and 'value' are the actual keys for the objects entries but the values are not readable.

Here is my code:

JavaScript:

var testArray = [{ name : 'TestName', value: 'TestValue'}];
rhassetServices.invokeMessage(testArray);

DWR.XML:

<convert converter="bean" match="com.qas.newmedia.internet.rhasset.model.Rhasset" />

Java Controller:

public List<Rhasset> invokeMessage(List<Rhasset> list) {	
	return list;
    }

Java Object:

public class Rhasset {
    
    public String name;
    public String value;
    
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }
    public void setValue(String value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
}

As you can see this is pretty straightforward stuff. In fact I can remove the Rhasset stuff and just read back arrays of string objects and still get the same issue.

I have tried messing around with signatures and converters and a number of other things but have not been able to get anywhere - and as far as I know this set-up should be supported as standard.

Can someone suggest as to what I might be doing wrong or suggest any other avenues to investigate?

Many thanks in advance,

Greg

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as I am now going down the route of using Ajax with JSON objects.

But I would much prefer to use DWR.

Many thanks in advance,

Hello Greg

With the best intentions try to go with jQuery, it has a great Ajax support too.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have resorted to using jQuery with Ajax and it does everything I need it to do. Would be nice to have used DWR though, and also to know what I was doing wrong.

Thanks again, G.
