Do you have an example of returning XML or JSON for a GET or a POST?

Thanks Jean-Francois POUX, that solved my question.

So the renderJSON worked just find.

I couldn't find a renderXML, at least not on Controller. Perhaps I don't have the correct version? Or its located on some other Play! object?

Also, I couldn't figure out the POST. Do you have an example? I can really adapt with either documentation or an example.

I figured out how to do JSON in a post. I was introducing the error, by not specifying the content-type correctly. Once I switched that then I was successful in posting.

I'd still like to understand where renderXML is located, as I can't find that in r197 or r205.

content type should be set to 'application/json' in the post.

Also, you can only post one json object. I was trying to do multiple json objects, but the JSON parsing in Play! can't match the array of json objects up with a method signature. I've decided that for me I won't use batch operations, for now. Each post will be able to post one object. I.e. waiting for XML support as I think then the post/method args can be matched pretty easily.

I found the renderXml in r205, not sure how I missed it. So it should be pretty straight forward. I'll have to look at the post for XML now. I'm going to keep my question opened until I can solve the whole get/post for XML too.

BTW this is causing me to rethink how to structure the app for these different rendering concerns. I'll open a different question for that shortly.

quoted from another question:

There's a sample app showing how you can force a particular render or let Play! decide which template (json/xml/etc) to use. See http://www.playframework.org/manual/contents/templateselection

Thanks Jean-Francois POUX, that solved my question.
