Dear All,
I am new the web2py and trying to use the relatively new RESTful API,
as described at
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#Restful-Web-Services
I am testing it with a very simple model :
db.define_table('message',
Field('sender', required=True),
Field('recipient', required=True),
Field('text', required=True))
And the doc provided function:
@request.restful()
def api():
response.view = 'generic.json'
def GET(tablename,id):
if not tablename=='message': raise HTTP(400)
return dict(message = db.message(id))
return locals()
When calling
curl -v http://localhost:8000/RESTtest/default/api/message/1.json
It generates an HTTP 500 error and the following ticket is logged
1 generic.json TypeError: <function <lambda> at 0xa9a72f0> is
not
JSON serializable + details
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there an issue in generic.json ?
Thanks for your help
