  • parse - true by default. If set to false, the headers param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions.
  • headers - header values.
  • error - the http servlet response error code that should be set on a response.
  • errorMessage - error message to be set on response if 'error' is set.

<result name="success" type="httpheader">
  <param name="status">204</param>
  <param name="headers.a">a custom header value</param>
  <param name="headers.b">another custom header value</param>
</result>

<result name="proxyRequired" type="httpheader">
  <param name="error">305</param>
