Handling http error 405 correctly
----------------------------------
Key: WINK-251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WINK-251
Project: Wink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Common
Reporter: Lior Harel
I am having troubles handling wrong method calls. When calling a resource with
an inappropriate method (e.g. POST instead of GET), wink identifies the
resource doesn't support the requested method, and generates a
WebApplicationException with status code 405. (so far so good :-) )
For some reason the http error code 405 is not part of the Status class (enum),
so calling valueOf doesn't generate the appropriate Status object instance. I
guess that's not a wink issue, as it is not part of the javax.ws.rs spec either.
The HTP spec says that when returning 405 error, the server also MUST set the
Allow header.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.6
But the problem is setting the Allow header, when I handle the exception in my
custom ExceptionMapper class, and the exception has 405 status, I can't easily
tell what are the allowed methods for the requested resource.
