Hi all:

I have one webservice with restful and its work fine, but I have a question.

I tested this solution from web browser (Firefox) and the utility “restclient” ([Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/rest-client)) by GET method.

From Firefox, I get the response in XML, but from restclient it is in JSON.

I tested different parameters in the header with the same result.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Yes: use Velocity and call a form adding a “.json” extension to it, or a “.xml” extension to it depending on what you want.

Adelo,

The rest-ws plugin looks at the Accept request header of the request to check which result format to send in the response.  
It supports application/json, application/xml and binary and defaults to json (when no Accept header is found or no supported type).
