Sergey Beryozkin updated CXF-3399:
----------------------------------

    Component/s:     (was: WS-* Components)
                 JAX-RS

Thanks for opening this issue.

At the moment CXF JAX-RS does not support writing multipart/form-data payloads.

Can you please narrow Produces to @Produces({"multipart/related", "multipart/mixed"}) only and confirm it works ?
We will try to add the support for writing multipart/form-data in time for 2.4.0/2.3.4
Cheers, Sergey

> Hello,
> We have implemented the following method while the output of the Response should be a multipart message.
>     @POST
>     @Path("{destinationAddress}/messages/payloads")
>     @Consumes("application/xml")
>     @Produces({"multipart/related", "multipart/mixed", "multipart/form-data"})    
>     public Response postMailboxMessagesPayloadRequest(@Context HttpServletRequest request,
>  						   @PathParam("destinationAddress") String destinationAddress,
>  						   @Context ServletContext servletContext,
>  						   JAXBElement<MailboxMessagesPayload> jAXBElement) {
> 		try{
> 				List<Attachment> attachments = ((MultipartBody)mwMailboxMessagesPayloadResponse.getBody()).getAllAttachments();
> 				MultipartBody multipartBody = new MultipartBody(attachments);
> 				ResponseBuilder responseBuilder = Response.status(HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK);
> 				responseBuilder.type(multipartBody.getType()
> 				responseBuilder.entity(multipartBody);
> 				Response response = responseBuilder.build();
> 				return response;   
> 		}
> 		catch(Exception e){
> 		}
> The thing is that no matter what we do, we can not have the 'boundary' which is determined by the CXF engine to appear in the Content-Type on the main header.
> As a result no Client will be able to parse the returned message.
> If we try to manually set the Content-Type header while giving it our own 'boundary', the result is that a different boundary is generated for the actual message, while the boundary we set is not the same.
