Simple Helper Class to return JSON Responses in Lift with a particular HTTP Status Code

WrappedLiftJsonResponse.scala

package your.mom

import net.liftweb.http.{S, HeaderDefaults, InMemoryResponse, LiftResponse}
import net.liftweb.json.JsonAST.JValue
import net.liftweb.json._

// This is much nicer to use than the native JsonResponse in Lift
case class WrappedLiftJsonResponse(json: JValue, statusCode: Int, respHeaders: List[(String, String)] = Nil) extends LiftResponse with HeaderDefaults {
  val headerContentType = "Content-Type"
  val headerJsonContentValue = "application/json"
  def toResponse = {
    val jsonHeader = List((headerContentType, headerJsonContentValue))
    val jsonString = compact(render(json))
    InMemoryResponse(jsonString.getBytes("UTF-8"), jsonHeader ++ respHeaders, cookies, statusCode)
  }
}
