Method Detail

getStatus

int getStatus()

Get the status code associated with the response.

Returns:

the response status code or -1 if the status was not set.

setStatus

void setStatus(int code)

Set a new response status code.

Parameters:

code - new status code.

getStatusInfo

Response.StatusType getStatusInfo()

Get the complete status information associated with the response.

Returns:

the response status information or null if the status was not set.

setStatusInfo

void setStatusInfo(Response.StatusType statusInfo)

Set the complete status information (status code and reason phrase) associated with the response.

Parameters:

statusInfo - the response status information.

getHeaders

MultivaluedMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getHeaders()

Get the mutable response headers multivalued map.

Returns:

mutable multivalued map of response headers.

See Also:

getStringHeaders(), getHeaderString(String)

getStringHeaders

MultivaluedMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getStringHeaders()

Get a string view of header values associated with the message. Changes in the underlying headers map are reflected in this view.

The method converts the non-string header values to strings using a RuntimeDelegate.HeaderDelegate if one is available via RuntimeDelegate.createHeaderDelegate(java.lang.Class) for the class of the value or using the values toString method if a header delegate is not available.

Returns:

response headers as a string view of header values.

See Also:

getHeaders(), getHeaderString(String)

getHeaderString

java.lang.String getHeaderString(java.lang.String name)

Get a message header as a single string value. Each single header value is converted to String using a RuntimeDelegate.HeaderDelegate if one is available via RuntimeDelegate.createHeaderDelegate(java.lang.Class) for the header value class or using its toString method if a header delegate is not available.

Parameters:

name - the message header.

Returns:

the message header value. If the message header is not present then null is returned. If the message header is present but has no value then the empty string is returned. If the message header is present more than once then the values of joined together and separated by a ',' character.

See Also:

getHeaders(), getStringHeaders()

getAllowedMethods

java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getAllowedMethods()

Get the allowed HTTP methods from the Allow HTTP header.

Returns:

the allowed HTTP methods, all methods will returned as upper case strings.

getDate

java.util.Date getDate()

Get message date.

Returns:

the message date, otherwise null if not present.

getLanguage

java.util.Locale getLanguage()

Get the language of the entity.

Returns:

the language of the entity or null if not specified

getLength

int getLength()

Get Content-Length value.

Returns:

Content-Length as integer if present and valid number. In other cases returns -1.

getMediaType

MediaType getMediaType()

Get the media type of the entity.

Returns:

the media type or null if not specified (e.g. there's no response entity).

getCookies

java.util.Map<java.lang.String,NewCookie> getCookies()

Get any new cookies set on the response message.

Returns:

a read-only map of cookie name (String) to a new cookie.

getEntityTag

true if the for the relation link exists, false otherwise.

getLink

Link getLink(java.lang.String relation)

Convenience method that returns a Link.Builder for the relation.

Parameters:

relation - link relation.

Returns:

the link builder for the relation, otherwise null if not present.

hasEntity

boolean hasEntity()

Check if there is an entity available in the response. The method returns true if the entity is present, returns false otherwise.

Returns:

raw entity type.

getEntityType

java.lang.reflect.Type getEntityType()

Get the generic entity type information.

Returns:

declared generic entity type.

setEntity

void setEntity(java.lang.Object entity)

Set a new message entity. The existing entity annotations and media type are preserved.

It is the callers responsibility to wrap the actual entity with GenericEntity if preservation of its generic type is required.

Parameters:

entity - entity object.

See Also:

setEntity(Object, java.lang.annotation.Annotation[], javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType), MessageBodyWriter

setEntity

void setEntity(java.lang.Object entity,
               java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] annotations,
               MediaType mediaType)

Set a new message entity, including the attached annotations and the media type.

It is the callers responsibility to wrap the actual entity with GenericEntity if preservation of its generic type is required.

Parameters:

entity - entity object.

annotations - annotations attached to the entity instance.

mediaType - entity media type.

See Also:

setEntity(Object), MessageBodyWriter

getEntityAnnotations

Get the annotations attached to the entity instance.

Note that the returned annotations array contains only those annotations explicitly attached to entity instance (such as the ones attached using Response.ResponseBuilder.entity(Object, java.lang.annotation.Annotation[]) method or the ones attached to the resource method that returned the response). The entity instance annotations array does not include annotations declared on the entity implementation class or its ancestors.

Returns:

annotations attached to the entity instance.

getEntityStream

Get the entity output stream. The JAX-RS runtime is responsible for closing the output stream.

Returns:

entity output stream.

setEntityStream

void setEntityStream(java.io.OutputStream outputStream)

Set a new entity output stream. The JAX-RS runtime is responsible for closing the output stream.

Parameters:

outputStream - new entity output stream.
