What I think you want is a DA to return JSON, perhaps like this:
public WOResponse responseForPoint(DataPoint point) {
ERXKeyFilter filter = DataPointController.showFilter();
String json = ERXRestFormat.json().toString(point, filter);
WOResponse aResponse = new WOResponse();
aResponse.appendContentString(json);
return aResponse;
}
