Ok solution found:
I create a JSONObject and I put the values I need to send from the entities:
like
JSONArray jarr = new JSONArray();
JSONObject jas = new JSONOBject();
jas.put("myentity", entity.getName());
jarr.put(jas);
and when received on the client side no exception and it just works!
Thanks,
Farjola
