Re: [Resteasy-developers] Fwd: Setting the response http code

[Bill B. <bb...@re...>]

If you cannot override the status via the 
ContainerResponseContext.setStatus() then this is a bug.  If Resteasy is 
overriding it, then there is some other exception happening after your 
ContainerResponseFilter that is changing the status.

I'm releasing Beta-6 tomorrow.  maybe your problems will go away.
