               MediaType mediaType)
        Set a new message entity, including the attached annotations and the media type.

        It is the callers responsibility to wrap the actual entity with GenericEntity if preservation of its generic type is required.

        Parameters:

        annotations - annotations attached to the entity instance.
        mediaType - entity media type.
        See Also:
        setEntity(Object), MessageBodyWriter

      • getEntityAnnotations

        java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] getEntityAnnotations​()
        Get the annotations attached to the entity instance.

        Note that the returned annotations array contains only those annotations explicitly attached to entity instance (such as the ones attached using Response.ResponseBuilder.entity(Object, java.lang.annotation.Annotation[]) method as well as the ones attached to the resource method that has returned the response). The entity instance annotations array does not include annotations declared on the entity implementation class or its ancestors.

        Note that container response filters invoked earlier in the filter chain may modify the entity annotations value, in which case this getter method would return the last annotations value set by a container response filter invoked earlier in the filter chain.

        For example: 

         @Path("my-resource")
 public class MyResource {
   private final Annotations[] extras = ... ;

   @GET
   @Custom
   public String getAnnotatedMe() {
     return Response.ok().entity("Annotated me", extras).build();
   }
   ...
 }

        The container response context for a response returned from the getMe() method above would contain all the annotations declared on the getAnnotatedMe() method (@GET, @Custom) as well as all the annotations from the extras field, provided this value has not been replaced by any container response filter invoked earlier.

        Similarly: 

         @Custom
 public class AnnotatedMe { ... }

 @Path("my-resource")
 public class MyResource {
   private final Annotations[] extras = ... ;

   @GET
   public AnnotatedMe getMe() {
     return Response.ok().entity(new AnnotatedMe(), extras).build();
   }
   ...
 }

        Provided that the value has not been replaced by any container response filter invoked earlier, the container response context for a response returned from the getMe() method above would contain all the annotations on the getMe() method (@GET) as well as all the annotations from the extras field. It would however not contain any annotations declared on the AnnotatedMe class.

        Returns:
        annotations attached to the entity instance.

      • getEntityStream

        java.io.OutputStream getEntityStream​()
        Get the entity output stream. The JAX-RS runtime is responsible for closing the output stream.
        Returns:
        entity output stream.

      • setEntityStream

        void setEntityStream​(java.io.OutputStream outputStream)
        Set a new entity output stream. The JAX-RS runtime is responsible for closing the output stream.
        Parameters:
        outputStream - new entity output stream.
