You can use the Response [1] builder:
@GET
@Path("/reports/{name}")
@Produces("application/pdf")
public byte[] executePdf(@PathParam("name")String name) {
byte[] stuff = ...
return Response.ok(stuff).header("Content-Disposition": "....");
}
An alternative is to use the new resource-specific filter framework i
have recently integrated. However, i have not sent any email about
that yet because there is currently an issue with the pushing of built
artifacts to the maven repo so developers would have to build the
source to try it out.
