Question

I’ve got a function that queries my database and gets a list of usernames– I’ve pasted it below:
*dbQuery.jsp*

<%! 
org.json.JSONArray dbQuery(String SQL_STRING)
{
// This step will read hibernate.cfg.xml and prepare hibernate for use
org.hibernate.SessionFactory sessionFactory = new     org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
org.hibernate.Session session1 = sessionFactory.openSession();
org.hibernate.Query query = session1.createQuery(SQL_STRING);
java.util.List list = query.list();
org.json.JSONArray jsonArray = new org.json.JSONArray(list);

// Actual contact insertion will happen at this step
session1.flush();
session1.close(); 
return jsonArray;
}
%>

I then try to parse through the list of users, but can’t get it to work right. Here’s what I’m doing:

var users = <%=dbQuery("FROM Users")%>; 
alert("User= " + users[0].getAttribute('username'));

Why doesn’t this work? What is the right syntax to parse through the objects/attributes in this JSON Array?

Answer 1

users[0].getAttribute('username')

will not work

try

users[0].username
