Description

I have an ajax handler that needs to return a list of json objects. It would be convenient if I could just return a JSONArray instance as I can a JSONObject, so I can easily return the list. According to the documentation (http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/guide/ajax.html) and the exception being thrown, this is not currently possible. For my case I have to wrap the response in a dummy object with a single member (the array of objects), to satisfy tapestry.
