[json-lib-user] Should static fields of a bean be included in its JSON representation?

[Florian S. <flo...@gm...>]

Hi Andres,

The following question might have an obvious answer, but
I'd like to ask it anyway. Suppose I have this Java Bean:

public class MyBean implements java.io.Serializable{

           private Integer length;
           private static Integer staticLength;


          //getters and setters for both fields
}


and I use JSONObject.fromBean( new MyBean() ).toString() to
get its JSON string representation, in which case I get

{"length":0}

Why is staticLength not included in the JSON string?


Thanks,
Florian


PS:  I am in the process of exploring the capabilities of
       json-lib, so I'll try to post some good questions in
       this mailing list, and hopefully that will make it
       easier for people to get familiar with the library.
