How to set content type as text/xml in response message header using spring

Question

I have developed a spring webservice which will return an empty response, but the problem is content-type is going as text/palin. i want to set the content type as text/xml, have searched for options but couldn't get exact way to do it.

here is my code:

@Endpoint
public class Service{

    @PayloadRoot(namespace = "http://sample.com/webservice", localPart = "sendReport")
    @ResponsePayload
    public void recieveReport(@RequestPayload SendReport report){
        // processing the report response
    }

}

Can some one please explin soon, as this is blocking my current work.

Answer 1

If you are using Spring 3.1 you can do this

@RequestMapping(value = "/getDealers", method = RequestMethod.GET, 
produces = "text/xml; charset=utf-8")
@ResponseBody
public String sendMobileData() {

}

add the produces attribute & set the content type

There is one more way

you can put response.setContentType("text/xml"); in your method

public String yourAction(HttpServletResponse response) {
    response.setContentType("application/json");
}
