Hi Paul,
The requirement is that the clients can ask for the JSON or the XML version of a record or a set of records using a GET request. So i was thinking to set the content-type requested by the GET request so that the
servlet can convert the data object into either JSON or XML.
Normally, when from a browser, we do a
http://localhost:8080/appName/servletName, its a GET request but no content-type is set.
However the same can be set through a Java client to make a GET request like
and the same can be obtained in the servlet as
So, i was wondering if there was a way to set this property from the browser(but not a request parameters)
Thank you
