Java - BasicDbObject - Spring View Support

[Saj]

Is there any built-in support for BasicDbObject and its ilk in Spring MVC for rendering JSON views?

Just to add my 2 cents since I'm  working with Spring MVC and MongoDB right now...

1. With Spring MVC you don't have to deal directly with BasicDBObject, thanks to spring-data-mongodb you can map your domains with your collections.

2. Since you have a mapped domain object in your hand, you can use jackson to render it as json, just add 'org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl:1.9.11' to your dependencies and @ResponseBody to your controller method. Here is an example, a bit outdated but it works. http://www.mkyong.com/spring-mvc/spring-3-mvc-and-json-example/

I don't know the internals of Spring MVC, but it's worth considering that BasicDBObject is actually a Map implementation, not specifically a JSON object.  So if Spring supports JSON-shaped objects, it might not apply to BasicDBObject.

However, BasicDBObject can be turned into a JSON String via com.mongodb.util.JSON.serialize.  So if Spring MVC supports JSON strings, then it will be able to render BasicDBObject.
