However, if you choose JSON this method will choose application/json, if you choose WDDX or XML this method will choose text/xml for you.
    encoding - The default character encoding to use. The default encoding is utf-8
    statusCode - The HTTP status code to send to the browser. Defaults to 200
    statusText - Explains the HTTP status code sent to the browser.

    formatsView - The view that should be used for rendering HTML/PLAIN/PDF. By default ColdBox uses the name of the event as an implicit view
    formatsRedirect - The arguments that should be passed to relcoate as part of a redirect for the HTML action. If the format is HTML and this struct is not empty, ColdBox will call relcoate with these arguments.
    isBinary - Bit that determines if the data being set for rendering is binary or not.
