I'm working with Java, Jetty and Jersey 2.18 (latest for now) hosted on a Google App Engine.
Let say I have a service such that
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/{userId}")
public Response getUser(@PathParam("userId") String userId)
{
...
}
When I do:
return Response.ok()
.entity(user)
.build();
I correctly receive an application/json content-type and body. But when I do:
return Response
.status(404)
.entity(new ResponseModel(100, "user not found"))
.build();
same as for returning any 4XX or 5XX status, I receive a text/html content-type along with this HTML body:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<body text=#000000 bgcolor=#ffffff>
<h1>Error: Not Found</h1>
</body>
</html>
and not the object I put in .entity()

ResponseModel is just a basic serializable java class :
import java.io.Serializable;
public class ResponseModel implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private int code;
private Serializable data;
public ResponseModel()
{
}
public ResponseModel(int code, Serializable data)
{
System.err.println("Code " + code + " : " + data);
this.code = code;
this.data = data;
}
public int getCode()
{
return code;
}
public void setCode(int code)
{
this.code = code;
}
public Serializable getData()
{
return data;
}
public void setData(Serializable data)
{
this.data = data;
}
}
