Response Bodies
This reference describes how the servlet-interceptor.adoc handles
response bodies of various types. Much of this behavior depends on the
protocols WritableBody and WritableBodyAsync. See
important-protocols.adoc for details about those.
The exact handling of the response body depends on the Java or Clojure type of the value in the :body key of the response-map.adoc.
| Type | Default content type | Serialization | Async? |
|---|---|---|---|
byte array | application/octet-stream | direct byte copy | no |
string | text/plain | bytes according to platform’s default character encoding | no |
Clojure collection | application/edn | text representation of data, same as Clojure’s writer | no |
Clojure function | nil | depends on the function | no |
File | application/octet-stream | bytes of the file copied to the output stream | no |
InputStream | application/octet-stream | bytes of the input stream copied to the output stream | no |
ReadableByteChannel (NIO) | application/octet-stream | bytes of the channel copied to the output stream | yes |
ByteBuffer (NIO) | application/octet-stream | bytes of the buffer copied to the output stream | yes |
{core_async} channel | nil | see below | yes |
When a core.async channel delivers a message, that message is written to the stream, using any of the synchronous dispatches above. The message from the channel must not be another channel, it must be a value that can be immediately acted upon.
