I want the query on the server side to specify the Content-Type header for the response. I didn't see how to do that from the link you provided.

This seems to work - is there a better way?

declare function as:json-response-headers()

{

<rest:response>

<http:response status="404">

<http:header name="Content-Language" value="el"/>

<http:header name="Content-Type" value="application/json; charset=utf-8"/>

</http:response>

</rest:response>

};

declare

%rest:path("/api/abbott-smith/index")

%rest:GET

%rest:produces("application/json")

function as:index()

{

as:json-response-headers(),

array { $as:abbott-smith/*:entry ! @lemma ! string() }

! serialize(., map {'method' : 'json'})

};

Hi Jonathan,

Have you tried setting the media-type or method parameters to application/json instead of only the produces parameter, as explained here [1].

Using RESTXQ in an application for the first time. I expected this function to have the MIME type application/json:

declare
%rest:path("/api/abbott-smith/index")
%rest:GET
%rest:produces("application/json")
function as:index()
{
array { $as:abbott-smith/*:entry ! @lemma ! string() }
! serialize(., map {'method' : 'json'})
};

But both POSTMAN and WADL give me application/xml as the mime type:

<wadl:resource path="/api/abbott-smith/index">
<wadl:method name="GET">
<wadl:request/>
<wadl:response>
<wadl:representation mediaType="application/xml"/>
</wadl:response>
</wadl:method>
</wadl:resource>

What am I doing wrong?
