Hi,
When posting content to a JAX-RS end point, if the JSON serialization
fails, I want the to return a bad request but the framework throws a
500 internal server error.
I briefly evaluated ExceptionMappers but I couldn't get the
functionality I wanted.
Contrived examples:
@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/car")
public Response postCars(Collection<Car> cars) {
....
}
public class Car {
private final String name:
public Cat(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
Lets say I this is the body of my post:
[{ "name" : "Ford"}, { "color" : "Hot Pink" }]
It should fail to serialize but is there a way for me to trap the
error? Or map it differently?
I can use an InputStream and serialize myself but I'd rather let the
framework do the work for me.
I'm using the jackson provider -
org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider
Warmest regards,
Trev
