Hi all,
I am fairly new to REST. I am in the process of building some web services supplying XML as follows:
@GET
@ProduceMime("application/*")
public Response getXml(@PathParam("dataPeriod")String dataPeriod) {
File file = null;
if (dataPeriod.equalsIgnoreCase("latest")) {
file = new File("latest.xml");
} else if (dataPeriod.equalsIgnoreCase("last2hrs")) {
file = new File("last2hrs.xml");
} else if (dataPeriod.equalsIgnoreCase("last48hrs")) {
file = new File("last48hrs.xml");
}
FileOutputStream out = null;
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
// CREATE MY XML FILE HERE
return Response.ok(file).type("application/xml").build();
}
This
works fine and produces my xml file that is displayed in my browser.
However I would like to give the option of downloading the file to a
user chosen location. In the past I have always used servlets and
added to the header as follows:
OutputStream sendResponse(final HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=ws_xml.xml");
response.setContentType("text/xml");
final OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
return out;
}
Can
anyone suggest a way to do this. I have looked at Response and
ResponseBuilder and searched the mail archives but can not see how to
do this.
Cheers,
Alex
