Jersey (1.19.1)-Building responses

Sometimes it is necessary to return additional information in response to a HTTP request. Such information May is built and returned using Response and response.responsebuilder. For example, a common RESTful pattern for the creation of a new resource are to support a POST request that returns a 201 ( Created) status code and a location header whose value are the URI to the newly Created resource. This could be achieved as follows:

@POST @consumes ("Application/xml")  Public Response Post (String content) {    = ...    Create (content);     return response.created (Createduri). build ();}

In the above no representation produced are returned, this can being achieved by building a entity as part of the response as follows:

@POST @consumes ("Application/xml")  Public Response Post (String content) {    =    ... = Create (content);     return response.created (Createduri). Entity (createdcontent). build ();}

Response Building provides other functionality such as setting the entity tags and last modified date of the representation .
