How to add an additional message in response? (RESTful)

I have a validateXxx() where I return a message "Name already exist." for
some conditions. I believe the response can be a json object. So how to add
another key - value in the response?

{
      ....
     "SomeMessage": "Name already exist."
      ....
}

Thanks,
- Paul

Hi Paul,
validateXxx() is regarded by the framework as a so called 'support-method'. Depending on your use-case, you could consider to instead write a dedicated 'action-method' that returns a Base64 encoded JSON string according to your needs, which you then decode on your RESTful client side.

However, I'm not too confident, that this Base64 trick is best practice.

Regards, Andi
