How to send JSON back with JAVA?

Question

I am having problems using Gzip compression and JQuery together. It seems that it may be caused by the way I am sending JSON responses in my Struts Actions. I use the next code

Answer 1

Instead of

try {
       response.getWriter().write(json.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
       throw new ApplicationException("IOException in populateWithJSON", e);
}        

try this

try {
        json.write(response.getWriter());
} catch (IOException e) {
        throw new ApplicationException("IOException in populateWithJSON", e);
}                                      

because this will avoid creating a string and the JSONObject will directly write the bytes to the Writer object
