This is currently not the case. Whereas the rest of Synapse is totally unaware of any Hessian specifics, the Hessian Builder/Formatter pair is actually the protocol dependent implementation. It is only used for Hessian Messages and has to be configured (activated) in axis2.xml for the specific content type. > 2.

The whole http headers are already written when it comes to the formatter. See HttpCoreNIOSender.sendAsyncResponse(): worker.getServiceHandler().commitResponse(worker.getConn(), response); // ... OutputStream out = worker.getOutputStream(); //.. messageFormatter.writeTo(msgContext, format, out, false); Regards, Eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@synapse.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@synapse.apache.org
