Spring-WS : specifying the Content-Type

Question

Answer 1

Yes, your filter code will fail because by the time doFilter() completes, the response will have been fully committed, and you won't be allowed to change the content type header.

I suggest writing a subclass of HttpServletResponseWrapper, overriding the setContentType() and/or setCharacterEncoding() methods to set the value to the one you want. You then pass the instance of the wrapper (which wraps the original response) to the doFilter().
