yes, somewhat (not xml, but json). i modified the rest showcase. in particular, i modified, orders-editNew.jsp. i modified the form the look like this:
<s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders.json"> the original line was: <s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders"> i believe the place to return XML/JSON is in the method create(). // POST /orders public HttpHeaders create() { ordersService.save(model); addActionMessage("New order created successfully"); return new DefaultHttpHeaders("success") .setLocationId(model.getId()); } this method returns a new HttpHeaders object signalling "success", and in this showcase, "success" gets map back to index() which is GET /orders (shows all the orders). but these are not response output (as in request/response). the struts2-rest-plugin tutorial goes to explain the mapping of GET, POST, PUT, DELETE to default controller methods (http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/rest-plugin.html). however, it is not clear to me, what i can return for the method. in fact, it seems that a result of type HttpHeaders or String can be returned (the difference is explained, and very helpful). when i used the struts2-json-plugin, all i remember doing was adding @ParentPackage(value="json-default") to the action class + adding @Action { ... @Result(...,type="json",params={"root","myPojo"}) } to the method. automagically, myPojo was serialized to JSON. i'm wondering if it's even possible to do the same with struts2 + convention + rest ? before using the struts2-json-plugin, my action would extend ActionSupport and implement ServletRequestAware and ServletResponseAware. i would then simply use ServletOutputStream to write the JSON/XML stuff directly. it's not elegant, but i might kludge an approach like this one.
