[Grok-dev] Example JSON-RPC example

[Christian Klinger]

Hi Roger,

i don´t know if this is related to your problem.
But the json tests in grok return always a dict
back.

class MammothView(grok.JSON):
     grok.context(Mammoth)

     def run(self):
         return { 'me': 'grok' }

     def another(self):
         return { 'another': 'grok'}

So maybe you have to say:

    def reverse(self, msg):
       return {'mystring': msg[::-1]}
