To served back an xml file you'd probably want to use proper mimetype
text/xml, or application/xml.
Id' recommend using DispatchPf. In Boot:
val dispatcher: LiftRules.DispatchPF = {
case Req("sitemap" :: Nil, "xml", _) => () => Full(new
XmlResponse(<cities>
<city name="Boston"/>
<city name="New York"/>
<city name="San Francisco"/>
<city name="Dallas"/>
<city name="Chicago"/>
</cities>)
}
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend(dispatcher);
