Changing the http status code in the response

[Nikki Payne]

Hello

I am running a service on  Axis2 v1.4  I am attempting to change the HTTP
status code in the reponse back to the client, but have been unsuccessful so
far. Here's what I am doing :
I get the response object from the messagecontext in the
MessageReceiverInOut


HttpServletResponse resp =
    (HttpServletResponse)
msgContext.getCurrentMessageContext().getProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETRESPONSE);
         if (resp != null) {
             System.out.println("Resp not null ");
             resp.setStatus(503 );
             resp.addHeader("abcd" , "newval11");
         }


Here's the response http header :
HTTP/1.1 *500 *Internal Server Error
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
*abcd: newval11*
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; action="
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault";charset=UTF-8



The new header "abcd" does show up, but the status-code remains unchanged to
500 (not 503).

Any help will be greatly appreciated

thank you
