I am working on Play framewrok 2 with websocket and JsonNode . the front

  • 0

I am working on Play framewrok 2 with websocket and JsonNode . the front end is connected to the play framework backend by use of websocket. I converted a javascript array into a json node and sent it to the backend by the use of the webscoket connection.
Now my problem is how do i convert the json object into a a java array or any suitable structure so that i can manipulate the data.

this is the json object I created 

var myjeson = {"x":arrayX,"y":arrayY} ;

this is the array which is populated dynamically 

 function pixelCount ()
    {  arrayX[counter] = xcoordinate;        
    arrayY[counter] = ycoordinate;
    socket.send(" from array X,Y  "+arrayX[counter]+ " " +arrayY[counter]); 
    ++counter;      
    }

the code below sends the data 

$('button.send').click(function() {            
sock.send(JSON.stringify(myjeson));

on the server side i have the following code 

 public static WebSocket<JsonNode> givenIn() {
    return new WebSocket<JsonNode>() {
    // called when the websocket is established
    public void onReady(WebSocket.In<JsonNode> in, WebSocket.Out<JsonNode> out) {
    // register a callback for processing instream events             
    in.onMessage(new Callback<JsonNode>() {
    public void invoke(JsonNode event) {                 
    Logger.info(event.toString());
    }

when I check the log the message is delivered :
below is the log info
[info] application – 

{"x":
[78.72727298736572,79.72727298736572,82.72727298736572,
7298736572,93.72727298736572,83.72727298736572132.72727298736572],

"y":
[82.6363639831543,82.6363639831543,63.54545593261719,63.54545593261719,64.545455932
61719,65.54545593261719,70.54545593261719,189.5454559326172,188.5454559326172]}

Now I will like to place these data in an array so that I can access them.
any suggestion will be appreciated.an alternative suggestion is also welcomed.

    The answer is mostly in the Jackson documentation and the tutorial;

    you have several ways to transform that JsonNode into useful data.

    If you know in advance the structure of the data you can use the Data Binding approach: for “full” binding make a Class corresponding to all fields); For a less structured approach the ‘raw’ binding let you use generic objects.

    Otherwise the Tree Model approach should work for you; the example you will find in the linked page corresponds quite well to your use case.

    Please try that example, then if you have more specific issues come back with the exact practical or phylosophical issues!
