The ActionClass Serialize does itself check (in execute method) if the body is 
already set:
	return 1 if length( $c->response->body );

But to be sure it might be a solution to bypass even 'self->next::method($c);' 
of the end method and checking 'length( $c->response->body )' right at the 
beginning.
