Hi Alex,
I agree this area is not very clear.
Since you are using Jersey, 1.1.5? then with implicit views you can
annotate your resource class with:
@ImplicitProduces("text/html;qs=5")
or if using explicit views you can do:
@Produces("text/html;qs=5")
The "qs" parameter is used as a priority preference for what the
server states is most acceptable. So it should override the client
side preferences if the declared media type in the above annotations
is an acceptable one. Hope that make sense :-)
Otherwise you can inject the following in the ViewProcessor
@Context HttpContext hc;
then do in the writeTo method:
hc.getResponse().getHttpHeaders()
and set the header, but *before* you write any bytes out to the
OutputStream (once the first byte is written the headers will be
committed).
Hth,
Paul.
