Hi Bob

This should be as easy as adding another method.. we already have
getObjectList (I think thats the name.. ) in our ABC. What you will need to
do, is to add another method in DataSetController, maybe call it
getDataSetsDSD (or something similar). And have a request-mapping that
points to both dataSets and dataSets.dsd, this together with the consumed =
mimetype option, should give you a unique combination (spring mvc will
complain if two requestmappings point to the same method)

Try it... if its not working, I will try and add it for you
