Changing the http status code in the response

[Nikki Payne <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hello

I am running a service on  Axis2 v1.4  I am attempting to change the HTTP
status code in the reponse back to the client, but have been unsuccessful so
far. Here's what I am doing :
I get the response object from the messagecontext in the
MessageReceiverInOut


HttpServletResponse resp =
    (HttpServletResponse)
msgContext.getCurrentMessageContext().getProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETRESPONSE);
         if (resp != null) {
             System.out.println("Resp not null ");
             resp.setStatus(503 );
             resp.addHeader("abcd" , "newval11");
         }


Here's the response http header :
HTTP/1.1 *500 *Internal Server Error
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
*abcd: newval11*
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; action="
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault";charset=UTF-8



The new header "abcd" does show up, but the status-code remains unchanged to
500 (not 503).

Any help will be greatly appreciated

thank you

Re: Changing the http status code in the response

If your response is a success or accepted, AxisServlet will return the
response code as 200 OK or 202 Accepted. You will not be able to change
this.

But you could change the response header to 401 Unauthorized,  by setting
property Constants.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATE to
HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED and Constants.HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_REALM,

thus the response header can be set with "WWW-Authenticate". To do this you
would have to throw an AxisFault exception from your hander or service.

The exact requirement you are asking is not available at the moment. Please
open an JIRA as a feature improvement.

Thank you!
