I've been working on a JSON plugin to serialize/deserialize actions to/from JSON, but it is for Struts 2. You could at least reuse the serialization/deserialization code:

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has made use of Ajax and SON under Struts 1.3... I'd like to make use of JSON in my Struts application in order to ease the process of data binding Dojo widgets. I'd also like to use JSON to serve as my client side model where changes made to a JSON graph, on the client, could be posted back to an action for processing (validation, persistence, etc..) on the server. The basic setup is that my action would get a handle to a graph of objects returned by calls to the data layer through Hibernate. The graph would then be serialized to JSON (ugliness of this serialization aside) and the resultant JSON representation would be shipped to a JSP. Getting the JSON graph to a JSP is easy enough. I could simply emit the JSON data as part of a forward. In fact, this works great in situations where I retrieve data outside of the context of form's round trip. For example, getting data as part of an async Ajax call to an action in order to populate a select box. The problem I am having is that I find it difficult to wire up an action form for complex graphs to achieve auto form population upon form submission. I'd like to be able to wire up my action form in such a way that modifications made to a client side JSON representation of the form bean (the graph) would be reflected on the server side. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any help is appreciated.
