Handling content

When you create a JAX-RS resource method for an Integration Object, the Consumes field specifies the content types (Internet media types, or MIME types) the JAX-RS resource method supports as input in a HTTP request body. The Produces field lists the content types the JAX-RS resource method supports as output in a HTTP response body.

The content type of an HTTP request or response is defined in the Content-Type HTTP header field. An HTTP request can also use the Accept HTTP request header field to specify the content types it can accept in the response.
