Question

I’m using jquery with datatable.editable plugin,
I’m managing to add a dropdown from static variables like this :

    "aoColumns" : [ 
            { // CLIENT
                type : 'select',
                data : string_in_json_format,
                submit : 'OK'
            }

but if i use the server side response, which sends back the same response it doens’t work.
And i can’t find anywhere what should be the format of my response.

this is what i want :

"aoColumns" : [ 
{ // CLIENT
            type : 'select',
            loadurl:  '/RetrieveDropdownServlet',
            loadtype: 'GET',
            submit : 'OK'
        }

The response of RetrieveDropdownServlet is exactly the same (as shown from firebug), but still the dropdown is empty
Thank you

Answer 1

well i found what was the problem

in my servlet i didn’t add response.setContentType("application/json"); so that was the problem.
