I accidentally posted a question to the GitHub issue list. Sorry Restlet team. I closed it. Here is my question to the mailing list…
I've come across a situation where the default behavior of the StatusService is
not kicking in. I think it probably has to do with a combination of using an
anonymous inner class and Variants but I'm not sure. Hopefully I can get a hint
or two as to a better design pattern so that I don't end up hacking a
solution...
Let's say I have a ServerResource with only one GET that returns a PDF. When it
fails I want the vanilla Restlet HTML error pages to be returned to the client
via the StatusService but the way the code is set up below the browser expects
a PDF and so the HTML error pages don't come back nor does the actual error
status code (401, 500, etc.) come back to the client whenever there is an
exception.
@Get("pdf")
public Representation getMethod() {
Representation representation = null;
representation = new OutputRepresentation(MediaType.APPLICATION_PDF) {
@Override
public void write(OutputStream os) {
try {
//Call a ClientResource that can throw a
ResourceException back to us.
//Use the returned data to write my PDF.
} catch (ResourceException e) {
setStatus(e.getStatus(), e.getMessage());
LOGGER.error(getStatus().toString()); //This shows the
error status but the client gets a 200 back with an empty application/pdf
"envelope"
} catch (IOException e) {
setStatus(Status.SERVER_ERROR_INTERNAL,
e.getMessage());
}
}
};
return representation;
}
