[Building Sakai] Returning JSON from createEntity

[Adrian Fish]

Hi Aaron,

What I'd like to do though is just return an object from the createEntity
method, rather than a String, and have it encoded automagically. I'd rather
not explicitly call methods to produce my JSON and then return it. Is there
any particular reason only a String can be returned from createEntity?

Cheers,
Adrian.
