Hi,

I am trying to replace the content-type header in an incoming message with an 
interceptor like this:

public void handleMessage(Message message) throws Fault {

...

  String contentType = (String) message.get(Message.CONTENT_TYPE);

  if (contentType != null && 
contentType.toLowerCase().indexOf("application/x-www-form-urlencoded") != -1) {
    Map<String, List<String>> headers = CastUtils.cast((Map) 
message.get(Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS));
    headers.put(Message.CONTENT_TYPE, Arrays.asList(MediaType.TEXT_XML));
  }

But the content-type header does not seam to change:
  No method match, method name : process, request path : /push, method @Path : 
/push, 
  HTTP Method : POST, method HTTP Method : POST, ContentType :   
application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Am I missing something?

Regards,
Carljohan

The quick fix is to register a RequestHandler filter or CXF in 
interceptor which will replace Message.CONTENT_TYPE property on a 
current message with "application/xml".
If adding a ?_ctype=xml property to the POST request is an option for 
the client then it will do it too
