parsing list of object in dwr

Question

I have a remote function testdwr, which returns a list of objects(test). How should i parse the list of objects in the handler method? Code shown below

public List testdwr(String message) { Test test = new Test(); test.setName("mahati"); List arrayList = new ArrayList(); arrayList.add(test); return arrayList; }

handler method:

function update() { findaccounts.testdwr("somestring : ",function(data){ alert(data); }

the alert box gives the output as "object Object"!!

Answer 1

The ArrayList returned from the server will looks like,

[Object { name="Mahati"}, Object { name="meena"}, Object { name="keerthi" }.....] 

You can have a loop like this,

for(var i=0; i<arrayList.length; i++)
{
    var testObj = arrayList[i];
    //Here, you can do what you want! like...
    alert(testObj.name);
    alert(testObj.age);
}

Like Blake said, try to use FireBug, its an addon for firefox.

Answer 2

You should be able to do something like data[0].name

Using alert(data.length) show show 1.

Have you tried using Firebug on Firefox. It allows you to set a break point in the javascript code and examin the variables.
