Hi Stéphane,
IIUC you are saying that the response status code and/or media type
cannot be used to distinguish between two or more forms of XML content?
There is a way you can do it, but it is slightly complicated due to
the nature of integrating JAXB.
First, you need to ensure that the media type returned is an XML
compatible media type.
Second, you need to register a ContextResolver<JAXBContext> component
for the relevant JAXB classes.
Third, you need to ensure that the return type you use is Object.class
For example,
public class MyContextResolver implements ContextResolver<JAXBContext>
{ ... }
ClientConfig cc = new DefaultClientConfig(MyContextResolver.class);
Client c = Client.create(cc);
WebResource r = ...
Object o = r.get(Object.class);
if (o instanceof BusinessObject) {
} else if (o instanceof ErrorObject) {
} else {
// unrecognized type
}
Another way you could do this is to write a client filter to buffer
the response and peek into the XML message using say StAX to look at
the root element and from that modify the status code.
Paul.
