Thanks guys, yes looks like JSON is the way to go. POJO->JSON should be easy (using the JSON API), but the other way is a bit tricky. I don't think overlays help because the JavaScript side never sees the objects (just the string) and the JSON->POJO process shouldn't depend on the specific class. As I understand overlays (http://goo.gl/fNzG), you need to (1) have the object in JS and (2) know the attributes.
I'm experimenting with rolling my own, will post back results.
