ContainerResponseContext (jakarta.ws.rs-api 2.1.6 API)

```
public interface ContainerResponseContext
```
Container response filter context. A mutable class that provides response-specific information for the filter, such as message headers, message entity or request-scoped properties. The exposed setters allow modification of the exposed response-specific information.

    Get the status code associated with the response.
    
    Returns:
    
    the response status code or -1 if the status was not set.
  - setStatus
```
void setStatus(int code)
```
    Set a new response status code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    code - new status code.
  - getStatusInfo
```
Response.StatusType getStatusInfo()
```
    Get the complete status information associated with the response.
    
    Returns:
    
    the response status information or null if the status was not set.
  - setStatusInfo
```
void setStatusInfo(Response.StatusType statusInfo)
```
    Set the complete status information (status code and reason phrase) associated with the response.
    
    Parameters:
    
    statusInfo - the response status information.
  - getHeaders
```
MultivaluedMap<String,Object> getHeaders()
```
    Get the mutable response headers multivalued map.
    
    Returns:
    
    mutable multivalued map of response headers.
    
    See Also:
    
    getStringHeaders(), getHeaderString(String)
  - getStringHeaders
```
MultivaluedMap<String,String> getStringHeaders()
```
    Get a string view of header values associated with the message. Changes in the underlying headers map are reflected in this view.
    The method converts the non-string header values to strings using a RuntimeDelegate.HeaderDelegate if one is available via RuntimeDelegate.createHeaderDelegate(java.lang.Class) for the class of the value or using the values toString method if a header delegate is not available.
    
    Returns:
    
    response headers as a string view of header values.
    
    See Also:
    
    getHeaders(), getHeaderString(String)
  - getHeaderString
```
String getHeaderString(String name)
```
    Get a message header as a single string value. Each single header value is converted to String using a RuntimeDelegate.HeaderDelegate if one is available via RuntimeDelegate.createHeaderDelegate(java.lang.Class) for the header value class or using its toString method if a header delegate is not available.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the message header.
    
    Returns:
    
    the message header value. If the message header is not present then null is returned. If the message header is present but has no value then the empty string is returned. If the message header is present more than once then the values of joined together and separated by a ',' character.

  - setEntity
```
void setEntity(Object entity)
```
    Set a new message entity. The existing entity annotations and media type are preserved.
    It is the callers responsibility to wrap the actual entity with GenericEntity if preservation of its generic type is required.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entity - entity object.
    
    See Also:
    
    setEntity(Object, java.lang.annotation.Annotation[], javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType), MessageBodyWriter
  - setEntity
```
void setEntity(Object entity,
               Annotation[] annotations,
               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:
    
    entity - entity object.
    
    annotations - annotations attached to the entity instance.
    
    mediaType - entity media type.
    
    See Also:
    
    setEntity(Object), MessageBodyWriter
  - getEntityAnnotations
```
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
```
OutputStream getEntityStream()
```
    Get the entity output stream. The runtime is responsible for closing the output stream.
    
    Returns:
    
    entity output stream.
  - setEntityStream
```
void setEntityStream(OutputStream outputStream)
```
    Set a new entity output stream. The runtime is responsible for closing the output stream.
    
    Parameters:
    
    outputStream - new entity output stream.
