How can I provide a custom error handler for a service? Case Study: I have this service which persists the Operation passed either by xml or by json. The problem is, when a malformed structure is passed, the server it returns a predefined error message. @POST @Consumes({"text/xml", "application/json"}) public void save(Operation operation) { operationDAO.save(operation); }
Where should I handle the exceptions to provide a different status code other than 500 and custom messages. The FAQ tells "If you want a different status when an exception is thrown, you have to catch it manually at a lower level (inside the handle(Call) or handleGet|Post|etc. method of your intermediary Restlet)", but following the pattern from the jaxrs extension example I have a Resource (OperationServerResource), an Application config (OperationApplication) and the Server (for now it only has the OperationApplication being attached, but later there is going to be a lot of applications). In this pattern, the only place where I can override the handle() is at the server, but by doing this I'll handle all specific exceptions from all bussiness classes (as Operation) at the same place ;/. Is there a different pattern I could use or a different way to handle the exceptions than ovewriting the component's handle in the server? ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2731311
