David,

You are right that deserialization of a somewhat complex data structure,
from xml to javascript, can be complex. On the other hand, JSON can be
deserialized in javascript by a single statement. Therfore, I am looking to
use org.json library to serialize java objects for now. Another library
JSON-RPC-Java (http://oss.metaparadigm.com/jsonrpc/) makes data transfer
completely transparent but possibly requires interfacing with servlet.

Regards,
Vinay Agarwal

You could try the XmlSerializer class in OFBiz to see if it does what you
need/want. Of course, then you need something on the other side in
JavaScript to do something with the XML. You might want to consider more
special purpose formats to make that easier. Of course, I have no experience
with this... just some thoughts on it.
