Sorry to bring this topic back up but I wanted to make sure the JSONView approach will work with the Angular branch. Erin, when angular hits the web service, does it expect the GET on the resource list to return the full objects? Or can it get the full objects individually? The idea is that the list would return a subset of the data (i.e. no need to return every detail about every person when you just want a list of people).
