There is also a includeProperties that you can use, to select only the properties you want to expose through json. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

I tried ignoreHierarchy, but got a Java reflection exception. Even if it worked, it would have include too many things I don't want. According to the documentation, it "... serialize properties in all base classes (up to Object) ". I could try to use the excludeProperties parameter, but there will be too many properties to exclude. In addition, if the super class is modified to have additional properties, it may break the JSON code without my knowledge. What I really wish is to be able to selectively include supper class properties, like syntax like"MyAction1.name1, MyAction2.name2". Cheers, Daniel
