[Seaside] JSON REST in VisualWork Seaside

[Roger Whitney]

I have an existing Seaside app using Seaside 3.0 in VisualWork 7.x (it works in VW7.7 through VW7.9). I want to add a REST component to return JSON. The Seaside-REST packages don't ship with VW. I did find them on the cincom repository but they do not seem to work (a lot of exceptions). I also came across James Robertson's old video on RESTful services in Seaside but that approach also does not seem to work anymore (I get JSON in a web page). 

Does anyone have REST working in Seaside 3 in VisualWorks? Not clear if I am missing something simple?

I can always use the VW WebToolKit to server my REST service, but would like to know if it is possible in Seaside using VW.
