table.ajax.reload,DataTable().ajax.reload() not defined

I have the following code under DT v1.10:

var oTable = $('#items')

.dataTable({

sDom: "r>t>",

oLanguage: {

sLengthMenu: "_MENU_ per page"

},

ajax: "/items",

bProcessing: true,

bServerSide: true,

aoColumnDefs: [

{

aTargets: [-1],

bSearchable: false,

bSortable: false

}

]

})

.on('click', '.btn-danger', function (e) {

if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete SKU "' + $(this).data('sku') + '"?')) {

$.getJSON($(this).attr('href'), function (data) {

if ('success' in data) {

oTable.ajax.reload(null, false);

}

});

}

event.stopPropagation();

return false;

});

When the server responds with success, it tries to call the line oTable.ajax.reload(null, false); but I always get the error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'reload' of undefined

What am I doing wrong here?
