This method adds a receivable MIME media type.

public WebResource.Builder accept(MediaType... types)

types

This is an array of the receivable MIME media types.

The method returns a builder (WebResource.Builder object) to set up the WebResource object.

• The non-null value included in the types parameter is added in the Accept HTTP header. A null value is ignored and is not added in the Accept HTTP header.
• The value returned by the toString() method of the MediaType object is set in the Accept HTTP header The JAX-RS engine does not validate the values returned by the toString() method. Specify the value according to the standard specifications.
• You can also use the following methods to add the value of the Accept HTTP header:
  
  • ClientRequest.Builder class
    accept(MediaType... types) method
    accept(String... types) method
    header(String name, Object value) method
    
  • WebResource class
    accept(String... types) method
    header(String name, Object value) method
    
  • WebResource.Builder class
    accept(MediaType... types) method
    accept(String... types) method
    header(String name, Object value) method
    
  The operation when no receivable MIME media type is added with these methods and the accept(MediaType... types) method is the same as the operation when the Accept HTTP header is not added in the HttpURLConnection object before performing HTTP communication.
