I need to handle a vendor XML type, e.g. "application/vnd.com.something+xml" in a REST service.
This is actually a compliant XML document, so I'd like to have CXF treat it as an XML document during serialization and deserialization. The only exception would be that I do not want the XML prolog (but IIRC I don't think it generates that anyway). I have a service with a POST method defined to Consume and Produce this type. Question is, how do I tell CXF this is actually just a plain XML, and to treat it as such, and just change the Content-Type on the response? Preferably in code (I'd like to stay away from XML). Currently it seems to be deserializing my document, but it's not serializing the response back to the client, it is responding with an empty body and the correct content-type. That's what brought me here. How do I do this the right way? And for my general knowledge, how are these vendor types handled, is there any guessing going on? (e.g. since it's +xml, will CXF assume it's an XML document during marshaling and unmarshaling? What if it's something totally different, like "application/vnd.com.my+protobuf")? -- Sent from: http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/cxf-user-f547216.html
