Question

The JAX-RS implementation Jersey supports MVC style web applications through the Viewable class, which is a container for a template name and a model object. It is used like this:

@GET
public Viewable get() {
  return new Viewable("/index", "FOO");
}

I wonder how a status code could be returned with this approach. The above would implicitly return 200, but that wouldn’t be appropriate in any case. Is there a way to set a status code explicitly?

Answer 1

You will have to return a Response set up with the correct status code and headers containing your Viewable, e.g.:

@GET
public Response get() {
  return Response.status(myCode).entity(new Viewable("/index", "FOO")).build();
}
