Hi,
I think this would require changes to the 311 implementation (no API
changes required), to defer to l10n property files, presuming that you
want to localize based on the locale set in the server environment.
If we want to return according to the most acceptable language then
that is a little tricker, and usually the accept-language applies to
the representation and not to the reason phrase.
In this case i think your best approach is to define your own reason
phrase strings and implement a localized version of StatusType,
instances of which can be set on Response.
Note that there is a limitation on Jersey setting the reason phrase
because of a restriction in the Servlet API. It can only be set when a
HttpServletResponse.sendError is called, and cannot be set when a
response entity is also to be required.
Paul.
