Hi All, I am new to datatables and fetching data from ajax call to server side. Below are the code snippet

HTML CODE

User ID	First Name	Last Name	Home Directory	Emp Type	Active Status	Country	DN

JS CODE
$(document).ready(function() {

   $('#accountdata').DataTable( {
        processing: true,
        serverSide: true,
        paging:true,
        length:3,
        pagingType: "full_numbers",
        ajax: {"dataType": 'json',
            url : "AccountInformation",
            type : "POST",
            dataSrc:function(json){
                var obj = JSON.parse(json);
                return obj;
            }
   },
              columns: [
                          { data: "login" },
                          { data: "firstName" },
                          { data: "lastName" },
                          { data: "homeDirectory" },
                          { data: "typeCompte" },
                          { data: "etat" },
                          { data: "pays" },
                          { data: "dn" }
   ]
    } );

I am getting response from server in below json
[{"draw":1,"recordsTotal":1000,"recordsFiltered":1000,"data":[{"homeDirectory":"/OrangeMoneyDwh","etat"
:"actif","typeCompte":"libre","pays":"ml","dn":"c = ml,ou=tango,dc=globalreporting,dc=om","login":""
,"firstName":"","lastName":"admin user"}]

upon debugging i get to this line which is causing the issue in datatables.js
var data = _fnAjaxDataSrc( settings, json );

Could anyone help me on this.

Thanks for your question - however, per the forum rules can you link to a test case showing the issue please. This will allow the issue to be debugged.

Information on how to create a test page, if you can't provide a link to your own page can be found here.

Thanks,
Allan

Hi Allan, thanks for your quick response. I am behind the corporate firewall but still able to get the database debugger result. The link is https://debug.datatables.net/enafep
May be it is of any use

Just remove your use of ajax.dataSrc. jQuery should automatically decode the JSON. Also, that option doesn't really work with server-side processing.
