Why Null Pointer Exception results in BAD Request (400) instead of Internal Server Error(500)?

[subhashlg26]

Hi,

I am using RESTEasy framework. When null pointer exception occurs on the JBoss Application, request results in the BAD Request (400). Ideally it should be treated as a server side error.

Let me know if this is correct. I would like to know views/ perception for returning 400 error on NPE.

-Thanks

I think this is more of a RestEasy question which can be asked in their mailing list http://sourceforge.net/p/resteasy/mailman/?source=navbar
