HI Alex,
Are you writing unit tests for your MessageBodyWriter implementation?
A multivalued map is created when you build a response and return it
from a resource method:
return Response.ok(file).type("application/xml").
header("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=ws_xml.xml").
build();
The Response class has a method [1] to obtain the multivalued map for
the response headers.
Note that you can also modify and add http headers in a
MessageBodyWriter because the map of response headers is passed in as
a parameter. The headers will be committed when the first byte that is
written to the output stream.
Paul.
