Answer 1

special-handling of org.json in rendering was removed one year ago:

you should probably wrap your "data" field in a facade that implements the com.yahoo.data.JsonProducer interface:

Answer 2

Arne is correct, we had to move this due to the license of org.json, sorry for the inconvenience.

To implement Arne's solution, all you need is to replace hit.setField("data", newroot); in your code by

hit.setField("data", (com.yahoo.data.JsonProducer)s -> s.append(resdata));
