Well, I think it's okay. It should return plain text because it's
simple type (no bean). Similiar it's for Integer, Double etc.
Have a look at this example:
@GET
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public Object getJson() {
Object person = new Object() {
private String name = "Petr";
private Integer age = 28;
public Integer getAge() {
return age;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
};
return person;
}
This should return {"name":"Petr","age":28}, which is well-formatted JSON.
I don't understand why you're returning String object, but you can
achieve that like return "\"yourstring\"";
