The easiest way is using Annotations. Did you use @JSON on class level too? Sounds like you missed that. Fore xample: @JSON public class Webdvcr extends _Webdvcr { @JSON List<Webdvcr> getDvcrByUnitNum(String s) {}; } The code would then look like: private String getJsonExample() { JSONAnnotationEncoder encoder = new JSONAnnotationEncoder(); List<Webdvcr> test = Webdvcr.getDvcrByUnitNum("502"); return encoder.encode(test); } Please let me know if that worked for you.
