Hi Farrukh
Thanks: that's a good suggestion, but I need to get it into JSON before it leaves the server, so that technique won't work for me.

I can use net.sf.json to do the conversion directly, which produces satisfactory strings, but that doesn't cope with the XML output format case, and I can't figure out how to pass it into my JSON output. If I do that with a String field, then obviously it is output as a string value, not as a JSON object, which isn't what I want.
