It could be argued that this is a bug. It may not be a bug that's easy to fix for all response writers. It's still worth an issue in Jira. If it turns out that such an issue already exists, then it will be marked as a duplicate and closed ... which means that either way, it will receive some attention. I haven't looked into the code very far, but I did note that the schema is already available in BinaryResponseWriter. It does not seem to be available in the XML or JSON response writers, though. The fix may not be easy. Thanks, Shawn
