Lukasz - Thanks for all your help. You got me on the right track and it appears the json Result was what was overriding and setting the content type. As a result, I have overridden the JSONResult class to use the "dynamic" content-Type.
/** * Custom json result type to set Content-Type response header dynamically to either 'application/json' or 'plain/text' * according to what the request header identifies in the "Accept" header * * (this is to fix browser wanting to download the json response on an ajax submit) * * @author Burton Rhodes * */ public class JsonDynamicContentTypeResult extends JSONResult { private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(JsonDynamicContentTypeResult.class); @Override public void execute(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception { ActionContext actionContext = invocation.getInvocationContext(); HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) actionContext.get(StrutsStatics.HTTP_REQUEST); HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) actionContext.get(StrutsStatics.HTTP_RESPONSE); // Set Content-Type according to what the request will "accept" if (request.getHeader("Accept")!=null && request.getHeader("Accept").toLowerCase().contains("application/json")) { this.setContentType("application/json"); } else { // Default to text/plain this.setContentType("text/plain"); } try { Object rootObject; rootObject = readRootObject(invocation); writeToResponse(response, createJSONString(request, rootObject), enableGzip(request)); } catch (IOException exception) { LOG.error(exception.getMessage(), exception); throw exception; } } } On Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 12:09 PM, Lukasz Lenart <lukaszlen...@apache.org>wrote: > 2012/12/30 Burton Rhodes <burtonrho...@gmail.com>: > > HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) > > invocation.getInvocationContext().get(StrutsStatics.HTTP_RESPONSE); > > Maybe try to use: > HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest(); > > > Regards > -- > Ćukasz > + 48 606 323 122 http://www.lenart.org.pl/ > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org > >
