Hello list, I have a ServerResource that checks parameters in @Post/@Get/@WhateverMethod and does the following if required parameters are not set:
throw new ResourceException(Status.CLIENT_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST, "Required parameter XXX is missing or empty"); This works fine, gives me the HTTP 400... except that in the default HTML representation the "Required parameter..." message is not present, anywhere I can see. So I was wondering what's the idea of ResourceException(Status status, String description) if one cannot see 'description' anywhere on the outputted representation when that exception is thrown. Should I be getting the description error message somewhere else? Where? Is this a (long standing, I'm using Restlet 2.0.0, but seen this behaviour since I've started using 2.0*) bug? This is an example of a request missing parameter XXX: ~$ curl -i http://localhost:9999/myresource HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Length: 316 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:29:04 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes Server: Restlet-Framework/2.0.0 <html> <head> <title>Status page</title> </head> <body style="font-family: sans-serif;"> <h3>Bad Request</h3><p>You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.1";>here</a>.<br> Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>. </p> </body> </html> ~$ I was expecting a <p> after <h3>Bad Request</h3> with the value of description in it, something like: <h3>Bad Request</h3><p class="description">Required parameter XXX is missing or empty</p><p>You can get technical details...</p> BTW, <h3> without <h1>, nor <h2>, is not good HTML practice. I do understand that since there's no CSS linked/present, you've choosen it for rendering reasons, but the HTML professor in me couldn't resist the temptation to remark this ;-) Maybe I could take a look at the code generating that HTML piece and improve it a bit? where I can find it? (not a lot of time to dig the java files myself, sorry) Thanks in advance for your answers. -- Fabián Mandelbaum IS Engineer ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2656482
