[2.0] How to adjust content type and set headers from Java?

[jh]

How should one go and set the content type for a request result using
Java? Also, how to add custom headers there?

public static Result index()
{
return ok("foobar"); // how to change the content type to
application/foobar, for example?
}

[jh]

Replying to my own question:

public static Result index()
{
response().setContentType("application/foobar");
response().setHeader("foo", "bar");
return ok("foobar");
}

i believe you can also do ok("foobar").as("application/foobar"), at
least in the scala api you can...

Thanks for the reply,

Doesn't seem to be supported by the Java API and
ok("foobar").getWrappedResult().as("foobar") doesn't work either.

The right way to do that is by using "response().setHeader(…)" or "response().setContentType(…)"
See http://playframework.github.com/api/java/play/mvc/Http.Response.html

How about HTTP status codes? Is there a generic container that can be
given a custom status code?

Currently only the following seems to be supported:

Results.BadRequest A 400 BAD_REQUEST simple result.
Results.Forbidden A 403 FORBIDDEN simple result.
Results.InternalServerError A 500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR simple result.
Results.NotFound A 404 NOT_FOUND simple result.
Results.Ok A 200 OK simple result.
Results.Redirect A 302 FOUND simple result.
Results.Todo A 501 NOT_IMPLEMENTED simple result.
Results.Unauthorized A 401 UNAUTHORIZED simple result.

You can return custom status codes using the Status class:

return new Status(218); // Empty body

or

return new Status(218, "content", utf8);

I don’t understand why this API does not appear in the JavaDoc.
Anyway, this API is not consistent with the other ways to return
results. Maybe something like the following would be more appropriate?

return status(218);
return status(218, "content");
return status(218, "content", aCustomCharset);
