Using ResponseEntity Spring MVC

Question

I want to use the ResponseEntity without returning a body, only set status code and headers. The ResponseEntity is a generic class, do I need to specify the type in this case, and if, what should it be?

Answer 1

You can use return ResponseEntity<Void>

Answer 2

No you don't, just do something like this

ResponseEntity responseEntity  = new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
