We need to create a Custom Data Format for our Java application.

In the documentation for serving data in another format than html, seems easy in C# application, but in our Java / Spring application we don't know where to add our Custom Formatter

Sdl.Web.Mvc.Formats.DataFormatters.Add("FORMATNAME", new MySite.Formatters.MyCustomerFormatter());

Our DXA version is 2.0 and SDL 8.5

  • Frankly, custom data formatters never got much attention during DXA system testing, so it could be that it just doesn't work properly in DXA Java at the moment. What is your use case for a custom data formatter? Note that DXA comes with JSON, RSS and Atom formatters OOTB.
