Question

I need help. In my current development one of the requirements says:

The server will return 200-OK as a response(httpresponse).

If the panelist is verified then as a result, the server must also
return the panelist id of this panelist.

The server will place the panelist id inside the body of the 200-OK
response in the following way:

<tdcp>

<cmd>

   <ack cmd=”Init”>

      <panelistid>3849303</panelistid>

   </ack>

</cmd>

Now I am able to put the httpresponse as

httpServletResponse.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);

And I can put

String responseToClient= "<tdcp><cmd><ack cmd=”Init”><panelistid>3849303</panelistid></ack></cmd></tdcp>";

Now what does putting the above xml inside the body of 200-OK response mean and how can it be achieved?

Answer 1

You can write the XML directly to the response as follows:

This example uses a ServletResponse.getWriter(), which is a PrintWriter to write a String to the response.

String responseToClient= "<tdcp><cmd><ack cmd=”Init”><panelistid>3849303</panelistid></ack></cmd></tdcp>";

httpServletResponse.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
httpServletResponse.getWriter().write(responseToClient);
httpServletResponse.getWriter().flush();
