Hi everyone,
I'm using Restlet 2.0.14 JEE. My question is about good practices and a good
understanding of Restlet.
In my resources, which extends ServerResource, I usually check my parameters to
verify users input. My idea is to send back a status code immediately (401
unauthorized, 403 bad request etc.) if some parameters are incorrect. My aim is
too abort immediately the request and send back the status code.
To do so, I'm code such like :
[CODE]
if(myUsernameParam != null){
/*
* Parameter found, do stuff like
* isUserAuthorized = checkUser(myUsernameParam);
*/
}
else{
// Stop everything
logger.fatal("Parameter not found");
this.setStatus(Status.CLIENT_BAD_REQUEST, "Parameter not found");
this.abort();
}
// We continue our process in the resource
if(isUserAuthorized){
/*
* Do stuff
*/
}
else{
// Stop everything
logger.fatal("Client unauthorized");
this.setStatus(Status.CLIENT_ERROR_UNAUTHORIZED, "Client unauthorized");
this.abort();
}
[/CODE]
However, I'm not sure that this.abort() is really doing his job and send back
response like a 'return' statement.
Or are there other good pratices to do what I do ?
Thanks :)
