Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-5656:
---------------------------------------
You mention that it is only specific to 500 ?
Can you clarify more please.
Where is this 500 response generated from, from the custom Exception mapper or
from CXF ? If the latter, where is the exception thrown from ?
if the the former: what is different between the way 500 and say 404 is
generated given that you mentioned it only does not work for 500 ?
Cheers, Sergey

> Key: CXF-5656
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5656
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JAX-RS
> Affects Versions: 2.7.7, 2.7.10
> Reporter: Andy Kane
>
> We have a Rest service that uses JAX-RS and CXF. When we used CXF 2.3.3, if
> there was a problem with the request and a non 200 status code was returned,
> the browser would display the message from the response with any encoded non
> ASCII characters as the ContentType returned application/json;charset=utf-8.
> After upgrading to 2.7.7, we noticed that non ASCII characters where not
> being encoded for Status 500 - Internal Server Error. This doesn't happen
> for any other status codes and we noticed that charset=utf-8 was being
> stripped from the ContentType. After looking through the CXF code, I noticed
> that the AbstractHTTPDestination class was removing the ContentType (line
> 553). The ContentType was then re-added in getContentTypeFromMessage method
> in the headers object without the Charset. Looking at this method, I noticed
> that the encoding was taken from Message.ENCODING and in our case this was
> null.
> There doesn't seem to be a way of setting
> org.apache.cxf.message.Message.ENCODING from either the ExceptionMapper or
> ExceptionMapper. I have also set the encoding type in the Response object in
> ExceptionMapper, but this doesn't seem to make much difference either.
> Removing the ContentType seems like a bug, as if the ContentType has been
> previously set and then this should be preserved. Is there a work around for
> this problem in the mean time.
