Wow, that actually worked. Thanks.
So for anyone else wanting to use the @Valid on their method params simply
add the following property to your system properties.
org.apache.openejb.default.system.interceptors =
org.apache.openejb.bval.BeanValidationAppendixInterceptor
And then your jax-rs methods can be of the following (note that you don’t
need the @ValidateRequest):
@POST
@Path("/bounce")
public Coffee bounce(@Valid Coffee coffee) {
return coffee;
}
If the Coffee bean sent has any violations (such as a field within being
null when a @NotNull annotation is brandished) then a
javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException will be thrown.
Simply pick that up by your exception mapper and do what you want with it,
so something along the lines of:
@Provider
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class MyExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<Exception> {
if (ex instanceof ConstraintViolationException) {
// return back nice json
return ExceptionResponse.build(new
IllegalArgumentException(ExceptionResponse.MALFORMED_BODY),
Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}
(here ExceptionResponse is my own custom class for representing exceptions
in a nice format back to the caller).
Remember to add your MyExceptionMapper to your system properties also:
"cxf.jaxrs.providers": “my.package.MyExceptionMapper”
If you use openejb.json (in conf/openejb.json) or resources.json (in
project’s resources/META-INF/resources.json) then you can add the two
properties like so:
resources.json/open.json :
{
"system-properties": {
"cxf.jaxrs.providers": “my.package.MyExceptionMapper",
"org.apache.openejb.default.system.interceptors":
"org.apache.openejb.bval.BeanValidationAppendixInterceptor”,
"org.apache.openejb.cxf.bus.features":
"org.apache.cxf.feature.LoggingFeature"
}
// other stuff….
}
(The LoggingFeature is to log the requests and responses in a pretty format,
thank me later :P)
Hope this helps someone in the future.
Thanks again Romain,
Chris
