Getting HttpServletResponse Null In Restful Service

Question

I'm making tests with a REST service and I need to get a HttpServletResponse object from it.

When I call the function like this:

http://localhost:8080/wsService/api/servicetest/testify

The HttpServletResponse that I get is always null

@Path("/testify")
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response Testify(HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
    try {
        return Utilities.getSvc(true, "OK");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        return Utilities.getSvc(false, "ERROR");
    }
}

Is there something I'm missing?

I finally did it, just needed to put the @Context annotation to the HttpServletResponse object and add a HttpServletRequest parameter:

@Path("/testify")
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response Testify(@Context HttpServletResponse response, 
                        @Context HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
    try {
        return Utilities.getSvc(true, "OK");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        return Utilities.getSvc(false, "ERROR");
    }
}

I only needed the `@Context` annotation. Did not need to add the `HttpServletRequest` parameter in my case. – ElectRocnic Aug 31 '22 at 09:41
