           Student student = new Student;
           //insert in data source
           Return Response.ok(student).build();

Answer 1

You can use ResponseBuilder.status(int) OR Response.status(int) method and send it like :-

Response.ok(student).status(201).build(); // 201 is the response code

OR

Response.status(201).ok(student).build(); // 201 is the response code
