Hi Brad
Hi Sergey,
sorry that should have read:
"when I hit a URL that is NOT registered to a service/media type
that I get a 500 back"
...which kind of changes the meaning a little bit.
What I mean is that if i hit a URL where there is no service
registered then I get a 500. I mentioned media type just to cover the
fact that if you have a service registered at a URL but you specify a
bad media type you (correctly) get the same result.
I've checked the JAX-RS spec, in the former case it's 404 indeed, in the latter
- it's 415 (unsupported media type).
I'll try to get to fixing it before going on holidays...
Thanks, Sergey
I was just wondering from a general interest point of view really, I
don't especially have an issue with how it currently is. Besides I'm
too lazy to read the spec and I know you have :-).
Brad.

Hi,
I've noticed that when I hit a URL that is registered to a
service/media type that I get a 500 back.
Can you clarify a bit more please and post a sample URL ? Are you saying
that when Accept contains a media type for which no providers/methid match
has been found then 500 is returned or are you referring to something else ?
Just wondering if maybe it
would be better for the server to return a 404 in these cases?.
There're few grey areas in the code as far as the proper status code
reporting is concerned, I've added it to the TODO list in the JAX-RS docs.
500 code is the eaisiest one to return in case of failurs/exceptions :-) -
it does not require one to properly read HTTP 1.1 spec and/or JAX-RS
specification :-).
It all will be tightened in the months to come, I believe for a number of
cases a proper response or error codes are returned now, for ex, when 'null'
is returned, and in few other cases.
Cheers, Sergey
Cheers,
