What I think you want is a DA to return JSON, perhaps like this:


        public WOResponse responseForPoint(DataPoint point) {
                ERXKeyFilter filter = DataPointController.showFilter();
                String json = ERXRestFormat.json().toString(point, filter);
                WOResponse aResponse = new WOResponse();
                aResponse.appendContentString(json);
                return aResponse;
        }
