Hello,

I have an entity that uses both Joda LocalDate and LocalTime attributes. I’m 
using ERRest to serialise these EOs.

LocalDate works fine under all circumstances. LocalTime seems to be serialising 
to XML and plist correctly, but causes the JSON serialiser to lose its mind.

INFO  net.sf.json.JSONObject  - Property 'field' of class 
org.joda.time.LocalTime has no read method. SKIPPED
INFO  net.sf.json.JSONObject  - Property 'fieldType' of class 
org.joda.time.LocalTime has no read method. SKIPPED
INFO  net.sf.json.JSONObject  - Property 'millis' of class 
org.joda.time.field.PreciseDurationField has no read method. SKIPPED
INFO  net.sf.json.JSONObject  - Property 'millis' of class 
org.joda.time.field.PreciseDurationField has no read method. SKIPPED
INFO  net.sf.json.JSONObject  - Property 'millis' of class 
org.joda.time.field.PreciseDurationField has no read method. SKIPPED

And so on. The output looks like this:

"endTime":{"chronology":{"zone":{"ID":"UTC","fixed":true}},"fieldTypes":[{"durationType":{"name":"hours"},"name":"hourOfDay","rangeDurationType":{"name":"days"}},{"durationType":{"name":"minutes"},"name":"minuteOfHour","rangeDurationType":{"name":"hours"}},{"durationType”:
 ...

Naturally, JSON is the output format I actually want.

What are my options here? I find it hard to believe that 
NSPropertyListSerialization knows how to handle Joda LocalTime specifically, so 
why is it getting the output right and the JSON serialiser isn’t? Is there an 
easy way to add custom types to ERRest? It looks like LocalDate formatting is 
handled in ERXRestUtils. Is that the only way to handle formatting a LocalTime?

(I probably won’t need two-way handling of these LocalTimes, so I could 
actually add a cover method on the EO to format the value as a String. But it 
would be nice if I could do this the Right Way.)
