Within the workflow of an enterprise application, the following process takes place:
- Each service page features a "search box" where users can type something, triggering a call to a Struts 2 action through jQuery autocompleter.
- Upon the action call, Hibernate searches for clues based on the user's search in a MySQL database.
When clues are discovered, a JSON response is generated, similar to:
... "map": { "id": "1234", "title": "Title 1", "permalink": "title-1", "class": "contentClassA", "contentType": "Content type ..." }, ...On the frontend JSP, JavaScript is used to create a list of
<div>elements, each containing data from amapobject.
Steps 1-4 function correctly on Firefox versions up to 11 and Internet Explorer up to version 9. However, I encounter an issue when attempting to build a self.location redirect in JavaScript to reload the page based on the value of class. The problem arises when trying to retrieve the class value from the JSON map object using the following code:
var classType;
if(obj['class'] != undefined) {
classType = obj['class'];
} else {
//classType = obj.map.class;
//classType = obj['map'].class;
//classType = obj.class;
// ...
classType = obj.map['class'];
}
While this code works as expected in Firefox, Internet Explorer (versions 7-8-9) always falls into the else statement, resulting in the classType variable being undefined regardless of the approach used.
Is there something I am overlooking?
