We have a mobile app using Restkit which would use as WSO2 DSS service as the backend of the app. The service has a database data source. However the developer is complaining that he gets an error that the service is only returning text/plain format. The service has a JSON output type and mapped on a json format. He said that in reskit it does not send the sevice the header content type but it is expecting a json output format. Is there anyway I can set DSS default output type as json output. I've already tried all the solutions in the net but still getting same error.

Normally JSON return handled by httpContentNegotiation parameter on 'axis2.xml' and in 'axis2_client.xml'. 

  <parameter name="httpContentNegotiation">true</parameter>

So simply you can set content request header with 

   Accept:application/json

ex: 

 curl -v -H "Accept:application/json" 'your_path'

  • I already told the developer that the solution was that. I even showed them the articles and documentation but they are insisting that Restkit has no way to tell the service that it wants a json formatted output. They are telling that the service should ouput a default json format – Drew Sep 01 '14 at 06:29

If you are using restkit make sure to add a custom header to http request. You need to set the Accept header as mentioned above. Please find this link.
