Need help to display XML to a URL

[macdoug1]

I have an XML String that I want to print out to a URL. I've tired using the PrintWriter function that was used previously but this is inside of the method @Override
protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception

which requires a ModelAndView or (null) be returned. If you return null it of course will not show anything but I'm unclear on how to just return this string of XML that I need displayed to a URL (i.e. - http://localhost:8080/service). Since this method needs to return something the PrintWriter won't work. Any ideas on what I can do with the XML string I have to print this to the screen?

Hi Macdoug1,

Returing null with handleRequestInternal() means you going to build the result on your own. Try something like this inside your method:

		response.setContentType("text/xml");
		PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
		writer.println("<data>stuff</data>");
		return null;
