The method renderJSON(Map<String,String>) is undefined

Question

I have Play framework 2.0.4 installed. For the java app I have, I want to render response in JSON format.

But when I was using renderJSON , compiler gives:

The method renderJSON(Map<String,String>) is undefined for the type Status

what am I missing here?

public class Status extends Controller {

    public static void myMethod(String url) {
        Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
        map.put("id", "1069");
        map.put("url", url);
        renderJSON(map);
    }
}

Answer 1

I guess you are trying to port an application from version 1 to 2? In Play 2, this is how you return a JSON response:

ObjectNode result = Json.newObject();
result.put("id", "1069");
result.put("url", url);
return ok(result);

You should also have a look at the documentation .
