Tips, If you can find the java code directly, then ensure you open the Java perspective in Domino Designer;

Then you can navigate to the java objects in the Package Explorer like this;

What about other URIs (variables)?

From the example above it looked like it was very easy to produces JSON output from an arbitrary java-class. But what if you want to use URIs like this:

http://www.vcode.no/test/discussion.nsf/xsp/.xrest/info/123 (again, URL is just for illustration purposes)

Note that I have stuffed my own variable "123" to the URL above.

The SmartNSF developers with Christian Güdemann and Martin Jinoch hang out on the OpenNTF's Slack channel a lot, and Chritian answered my question within minutes (!). Giving me the correct pointers I was able to create this route;

Note the variables {myparam}. This is what should contain "123" in my sample.

The super-cool thing with SmartNSF is that all router variables (amongst other stuff) are transfered along the input-context to the backend java-class. Using the intellisense I could see that the context contained a method called getRouterVariables;

I modified the sample code to reveal the content of the getRouterVariables-method, like this;

Marked by 1, I define a Map of strings, and fill it with the result from the getRouterVariables-method. Marked by 2 I have a small loop dumping all the variables. Note that I prefix them with "p_" just to be able to locate them directly. The result from the code above was this;

Whoo!! In other words, the variable definition from the route was used directly, and I can now continue to use my other java-classes instantly!! Marvelous!!! Thanks a million Christian and Martin (hope I don't forget too many others now ).
