I have a REST interface implemented with javax to login a user.
@Path("/login")
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public UserId login(@QueryParam("email") String email, @QueryParam("password") String password) throws InvalidUserDataException {
User user;
try {
user = loadUserFromDatabase(null, email);
} catch (MissingDatabaseEntryException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new InvalidUserDataException("Email and password do not match.");
}
if(!user.confirmed)
throw new InvalidUserDataException("We have sent you a confirmation mail. Please confirm your email first.");
if(!user.password.equals(password))
throw new InvalidUserDataException("Email and password do not match.");
return new UserId(user.userId);
}
Furthermore there is an Exception Mapper
to map the thrown exceptions to the specific HTTP response.
@Provider
public class InvalidUserDataExceptionHandler implements ExceptionMapper<InvalidUserDataException> {
@Override
public Response toResponse(InvalidUserDataException exception)
{
return Response.status(Response.Status.CONFLICT).entity(exception.getMessage()).build();
}
}
No matter what error I am throwing and what status code I am defining in mapper class, the server always responds just with an 500 Internal Server Error instead with the defined 409. Does anybod know what I am missing here? Thanks in advance.
