Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<%

%>
{"menu": {
  "id": "file",
  "value": "File",
  "popup": {
    "menuitem": [
      {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
      {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
      {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
    ]
  }
}}

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet

  field private BBjspWebRequest request!
  field private BBjspWebResponse response!
  field private BBjspWebSession session!

  method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)

    #request! = context!.getRequest()
    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #response!.setContentType("application/json")
    s!.write("{'data': {'id': '123','value': 'ABC'}}")
