  Your methods should work if coded correctly. What do you mean by "they fail"?

  What DataTables sends to the server and what it expects back are documented here. If your APIs on the server-side handle that information and return the expected JSON, it should just work.

  Hi ,here is what my code looks like-

  $('#table').DataTable( {
                  "processing": true,
                  "serverSide": true,
                  "ajax": "http://xxxxx",
                  "columns": [
                      { "data": "id" },
                      { "data": "type" },
                      { "data": "path" }                    
                  ]
   } );
  

  my json looks like-

  [
  {"id":1,"type":"Engineered","pid":0,"path":"Engineered"},
  {"id":2,"type":"Biogas plant","pid":1,"path":"Engineered"},
  ...
  

  The above js is added to the HTML page and the the api aldready provides with the above described JSON as the result for the given API query. Should anything has to be changed for the tables to be loaded ?? The **"ajax": "http://xxxxx" ** contains the API query which is present from the server side [i was told that its handled java program].

  The JSON being returned from the server does not contain the information that DataTables requires for server-side processing. You need to include the paging and search information in the returned JSON as documented.
