User Response + HTTP Status?

Question

I have an interface for my project. For one class, I have a POST method where you can send xml and I RETURN a custom answer , for example:

<customResponse>Invalid email</customResponse>

if the xml email that was posted was incorrect + other custom posts that I defined for different situations.

For all of these conditions, HTTP STATUS is automatically set to 200 (OK). Is there any way to change it?

Ps: I know that I can drop a web application like:

throw new WebApplicationException(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST);

but in this case my user response is no longer included.

So, I just want to return my custom + 400 error as a response to http.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE after comments: My method:

 @POST
 @Path("{membershipExternalId}")
 @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
 @Produces("application/xml")
 public CustomResponse invite(){ //code}

, . RESPONSE, STATUS, .
