HI Evan,

Hmm. I just did the same test and was surprised. But yes, still logging the 
error seems to match the documentation.. Sorry about that. My only other 
suggestion is: Is there any common code used as some sort of standard 
invoker/router to the rest of your code? If so, that may be the best place to 
put a tray catch and let the rest bubble up to that point.

Regards,
David

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Exit query without writing to error log?

Hi David,

Following up on this. I tried the custom error handler, and it appears that the 
errors are not actually caught but just forwarded to the error-handler XQuery. 
The impact of this for me (and which is what I'm trying to address) is that the 
errors are still written to the error log, regardless of whether they are 
handled by a custom error handler. Does this accord with your understanding of 
how it's supposed to work?

Do you have any other ideas for how to prevent the writing to the error log? If 
not, we will probably need to restructure the queries to not throw an XQuery 
error at all and just send the appropriate response code and error message. 
Darn, oh well.

Thanks,
Evan

Thanks, guys. David, the custom error handler is a great idea. I had forgotten 
about this option. We're not currently using it but definitely will soon. It 
will help us move forward without fundamentally changing the structure of many 
queries. It will enable us to wrap a virtual try/catch around everything 
without having to change the code itself. Very helpful!

Thanks again,
Evan

HI.

Further to Florent’s comment, assuming your code is OK with the error bubbling 
up to the top, you can catch them all in a single place and act accordingly  
using a custom error handler. Using this in conjunction with throwing your own 
errors (and handling the code in the top-level handler) can be useful.

Hi Evan,

The error is logged only if it "reaches the top", that is, if it is not caught.

If the error shouldn't behave as such, can't you just catch it before? (and 
yes, potentially return wathever HTTP response you deem appropriate).

Regards,

Hello,

My client has XQuery parameter-validation code which calls the error() function 
when invalid parameters are supplied. This event gets written to the error log. 
Is there a way to prevent this?

I recognize the best practice is to return a more appropriate HTTP response 
code (than 500) when handling invalid input. I also recognize this is anathema 
to FP. But my question still stands:

Is there a way to interrupt/exit a query without triggering an Error-level log 
message?

Thanks,
