I'm looking at the example StockWatcher.java from GWT modified to use JSON and call a Web2py server app.
In the client app I'm using: http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/default/stockPrices.json?q=ABC note the ".json" extension. In my default.py in Web2py I have: def stockPrices(): sym = request.vars['q'] rows = db(db.stock_price).select() prices = rows.find(lambda row: row.symbol in sym).as_list() return json.dumps(prices) Is there an approach in Web2py I can use that I don't need to call json.dumps() when returning "prices" ? What are others doing?
