Return HTTP response with status code 202 in Spring Boot

Question

How can I return HTTP response with status code 202?

I couldn't find any reference for it in Spring Boot documentation.

Answer 1

Return HTTPStatus ACCEPTED, e.g:

 return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED);

202 Accepted.

Answer 2

You can do like this (I am using kotlin) :

return ResponseEntity.accepted().body(OrderResponse().order(order))

OR Easy way is:

    return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED).body(OrderResponse().order(order))

ResponseEntity.accepted returns 202 ResponseEntity.created returns 201 and so on
