Hi, this is not about abdera, so sorry by the off topic. I'm doing something similar in the(ape.rubyforge.org). I have an atom format report that shows me a feed with errors and warnings, the structure is like this:
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";> <id>id</id> <updated>date</updated> <title> feed title </title> <author><name>The ape</name></author> <subtitle>4 errors, 11 warnings</subtitle> # a little summary <entry> <id>id</id> <updated>date</updated> <title> a sentence that explains what's happening</title> <content> communication log between the client and the atompub server </content> <category term=" error or warning or info or debug "/> #log type </entry> </feed> On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 1:35 AM, Alexandre Bairos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using something in the lines of > > <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF8'?> > <error xmlns="http://incubator.apache.org/abdera";> > <code>1400</code> > <message>InvalidArticleTitle</message> > </error> > > > which Abdera has out of the box with some minor adjustments. > > These error elements comes in a http error response, with 400, 500, etc. > Google Gdata has a <reason/> and <input/> subelements. > For Bad request errors, an errors root element would do the trick of > returning multiple errors like in the following snippet: > > <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF8'?> > <errors> > <error xmlns="http://incubator.apache.org/abdera";> > <code>1400</code> > <message>InvalidArticleTitle</message> > </error> > <error xmlns="http://incubator.apache.org/abdera";> > <code>1401</code> > <message>InvalidArticleBodyLength</message> > </error> > </errors> > > > Alexandre Bairos > > > On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 12:57 PM, Remy Gendron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello all, > > > > > > > > I am currently implementing server side validations (for those > interested, > > using Spring validation package with Hibernate Validator for the simple > > validations). > > > > > > > > Any of you have recommendations/insights as to the returned XML payload > > when > > errors are encountered? > > > > > > > > I need to return something like a list of error object designators, the > > error codes and a default, non localized human readable error message. > > > > > > > > I was considering returning this as a feed collection, each error being > > wrapped in an entry.
