HTML response using Abdera

[karthik ananth <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am building an application where in I need to have feed as response
for few requests and html as response for some other requests. I am
using Abdera servlet to serve feed and I wonder if I could use the
same servlet to serve HTML content. I searched all ResponseContexts
and found that  a ResponseContext  can be built out of a feed.

My questions:
1. Is there a way to send HTML content(as response) through AbderaServlet?
2. Anybody in list faced and solved similar problem? - please give few tips

Hi Karthik,

The short answer is no- the AbderaServlet (or better yet the
AbderaSpringServlet...) does not return HTML natively- it returns
well-formed XML in AtomPub format. The long answer is that you can
return any mime type (including html or xhtml) embedded within the atom
response. Simply build your response and then pass it via
CollectionAdapter.setContent(). Downstream, retrieve the content via
AbderaClient.getContent() and do whatever you need to with it. Hope this
helps.

Jeff
