Return non-HTML, non-JSON http bodies in Tapestry 5?

I have to implement the service provider of the OAuth protocol in a project that uses Tapestry5. Therefor I just need to return a very simple HTTP response body that is neither HTML or JSON.

At first I tried to use the standard tml & pojo (java class, page) approach but this doesn't work because Tapestry tries to parse the templates.

So I think I have to try something different. Maybe it is possible to use a render() method in a page? But I couldn't find any documentation that would answer this question.

Or should I just use another framework that would better fit my needs?

Thank you for your advice,

Richard

Solution

  • Brian pushed me in the right direction, but the actual solution to the problem was even simpler:

    StreamResponse onActivate() {
     return new TextStreamResponse("text/plain", "foo=bar");
}
