I need to develop a program in java as like PHP code (I am unable to understand PHP code),
This is my java code(Partial).

public class DTSerializedObject implements java.io.Serializable
    {
        public int iTotalRecords;
        public int iTotalDisplayRecords;
        public ArrayList<Object> aaData;
    }

inside a function

    ArrayList<Object> jsonarray = new ArrayList<Object>();
    DTSerializedObject dts = new DTSerializedObject();
dts.iTotalRecords = dts.iTotalDisplayRecords = 30;
                String category=null;
                while(rs.next())
                {
                    category="Normal";
                    ArrayList<Object> ja = new ArrayList<Object>();
                    int topicno=rs.getInt("topicno");
                    ja.add(topicno);
                    ja.add(rs.getString("filename"));
                    ja.add(rs.getString("letterno"));
                    ja.add(rs.getString("date"));
                    if((rs.getString("category")).equals("2"))
                        category="Urgent";
                    ja.add("<center>"+category+"</center>");
                    ja.add(rs.getString("office"));
                    ja.add(rs.getString("subject")+"....");
                    ja.add("<center><a class='anc' href=\"/Spandana2/specifiedTopicDetailsAndReplies.do?topicno="+topicno+"&purpose=view&jsessionid="+java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-","").toUpperCase()+"\">View</a></center>");
                    jsonarray.add(ja);
                }
                dts.aaData = jsonarray;

How to add DT_RowId,DT_RowClass option to my java code.
What is the expected JSON output format for the above PHP code?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

crate an object as like this

class Bean{
      public String col1;
      public String col2;
      public String DT_RowClass;
}

while getting the data from db created an object(Bean) and assigned the values to that object properties for each and every row.

ArrayList al = new ArrayList();    
while(rs.next){
         Bean b = new Bean();
         b.col1(rs.getString(1));
         b.col2(rs.getString(2));
         if(rs.getString(3))
              b.DT_RowClass = "class1";
         else
              b.DT_RowClass = "class2";
         al.add(b);
    }

created a class which represents the json format required to display the data in webpage.
create object (obj) of that class and assigned the appropriate values to iTotalRecords & iTotalDisplayRecords & aaData = al;

public class DTSerializedObject implements java.io.Serializable
    {
        public int iTotalRecords;
        public int iTotalDisplayRecords;
        public ArrayList<Object> aaData;
    }

Finally serialize that object using flexjson.

 String result = new flexjson.JSONSerializer().exclude("class").serialize(obj);
    response.setContentType("application/json");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
    response.getWriter().print(result);
