About handling validation failure

[ohnishi]

Hi,

Can I distinguish validation exceptions from the other exceptions?

For example, when using RESTEasy binding, I would like to return HTTP status code 400 for an invalid request and 500 for an unexpected error.

You can use a custom context mapper to set the HTTP status code to the value you require.  There's not a specific way to distinguish between a validation error and other errors, but you could  run a regex on the error message to test for text specific to validation errors.

Hi Keith, thank you for your reply.

Do you have a plan to support distinguishing between a validation error and other errors in the future?
