bServerSide with sAjaxDataProp == ""

ericbuckley

When the following 2 conditions are true:
[code]
bServerSide: true
sAjaxDataProp == ""
[/code]

I believe you need to alter the _fnAjaxUpdateDraw() to take this into account. Below is a patch I am proposing.

I hadn't actually anticipated sAjaxDataProp being an empty string, so I'm not too surprised that doesn't work perhaps quite as expected at the moment. Its a nice idea though - just being able to get an array back and use that. I wonder if null would be better than an empty string, but either way, that sounds like a good plan and something I'll include in 1.8.2.

One point that has just struck me - if you are using server-side processing, you need to be able to pass back sEcho, iTotalRecords and so on, but if you are just returning an array this wouldn't work. With server-side processing, you must return an object - while with client-side processing but an Ajax source, then this is 100% valid, and actually DataTables already does this :-)
