What is my return type for a webservice that uses a database?

[jm]

I have mostly seen simple examples that add two numbers and return an
int or simple hello world string. What I read is that whatever I send
back it will be in JSON if I use [ScriptService], but I don't know
what to send back besides primitive types.

Just wondering how to proceed.

Thank you for any help.

Return type should be XML for XML Web Services. XML can flatten any object
type so you should be able to pass any serializable object. Ofcourse, the
job is yours to unflatten it on the otherside for none primitive types.
