json-lib-user

[David R. <dwr...@lb...>]

I am a newbie to Json-lib and am trying to create a JSONObject within a 
Java 1.5 servlet.  I am using json-lib-2.2-jdk15.jar

I have the following code:

Map outputMap = new HashMap();
outputMap.put("var1", "value1");
JSONObject jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject(outputMap)

The servlet dies on the last line of code.  I have tried the 
JSONSerializer version from the snippets as well with the same result.  
The answer is probably staring me in the face, but I don't see it.
