Why is JSON not defined?

Question

I use JSON in my channels and have both a Test and Production QIE server.  In Test, I can use JSON.stringify(), but I can't in my Production environment.  Here is a screenshot of my mapping node:

When I run the channel in my Production environment, I get the following: 'ReferenceError: "JSON" is not defined.'

What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

To resolve this issue, upgrade your Production environment to Java7.

A general rule of thumb, is that if you use JSON or create your own JS Arrays or JS Objects within your channels, you should use java version 7.

Answer 2

If Java 6 is a requirement and you still want to use json, I would look into using a java API which can parse and stringify JSON.  Google's GSON may be a good option: https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/.  However, I have not tried using this API in QIE.
