Responding With custom code in spring boot

Question

I am creating a web Server using spring boot. Now In Response, I want to send my Status Code when some api hits the server.I want to create my own Status code . Like instead of Sending 401 , I want to send 421.

Response.status(421) Something like this.

I want to send status code which are not predefined, like 421, its not predefined — Prakhar, Sep 03 '19 at 10:29
Read and try the answers. The accepted answer uses a named int constant in second snippet. — M. Prokhorov, Sep 03 '19 at 11:12
All the libraries that are used for sending Status : HttpStatus or HttpServletResponse , they have inbuilt predefined status.We cant create our own — Prakhar, Sep 03 '19 at 11:26
That's a new one. What about this [method](https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#setStatus(int)) then? — M. Prokhorov, Sep 03 '19 at 11:29

Is this what you're looking for?

@GetMapping("/test")
public ResponseEntity<String> someTest() {
   return ResponseEntity
      .status(421)
      .contentType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
      .body("go away world");
}

Testing...

$ curl -I http://localhost:8080/test
HTTP/1.1 421
