I'm in the early stages of writing a web2py application, and I want to retrieve the data returned by one of my actions in JSON format.
As I understand it, the documentation seems to say that if I navigate to ../[application]/[controller]/[action].json then the dictionary returned by my action should be passed to the generic.json view, which will serialize the data for me. However, if I do this, I just get a page that says "invalid view ([controller]/[action].json)" Strangely, in my other application, this is working fine. Both are actions in their application's default controller. Both return dictionaries. A generic.json view is defined for each. Am I overlooking some other important factor?
