I have a resource methid as follows which needs ti return an arbitrary
content. I know the actual media type in the server for the arbitrary
content. I implemented the method as follows:


    @Path("/repositoryItems/{id}")
    @GET
    public Response getRepositoryItem(@PathParam("id") String id) throws
JAXBException, IOException {
        String mimeType = "application/octet-stream";
        DataHandler ri = ...
        resp = ri.getInputStream());
        return
Response.status(200).type(mimeType).entity(resp).build();//"OK"
     }

Now when I test with an id that returns an XML documents (media type =
"text/xml") the response looks like binary data:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 9392

I hax expected something like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 9392
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:53:55 GMT

</someXmlTag>


What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
