Summary :
I want to pass valid exception output given by one REST service end point to the end user by using my own Rest service.
What I did is, I have called that service in service class using RestTemplate class, it's giving valid output on valid post request. But when I am passing invalid input to it I am getting only '400 BAD REQUEST' result in my service class where I have called that API. But when I am calling that API separately using postman, there I'm getting expected output.
Code sample :
class Abc {
ResponseEntity<String> = response;
static final String url = "https://abc-xyz.com/client-rest-end-point-url";
public ResponseEntity getDetails(RequestInput requestInput) {
try{
response=restTemplate.postForObject(url,requestInput,String.class);
} catch(Exception e) {
ResponseEntity response = (ResponseEntity<ErrorModel>)restTemplate.postForEntity(url,requestInput,ErrorModel.class);
}//try-catch
}//getDetails method
}//class
You can create a custom exception class for your entire application and you can send data in JSON
by using throw
keyword
Suppose you have exception class is:
public class TestException extends Exception {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String code;
private String detailMessage;
public TestException() {
};
public TestException(String message, String code, String detailMessage) {
super(message);
this.code = code;
this.detailMessage = detailMessage;
}
public TestException(String message, String code) {
super(message);
this.code = code;
}
//TestExceptionResponseCode is another class for message data, if required.
public TestException(TestExceptionResponseCode testExceptionResponseCode) {
super(testExceptionResponseCode.getMessage());
this.code = testExceptionResponseCode.getCode();
}
public String getCode() {
return code;
}
public void setCode(String code) {
this.code = code;
}
public String getDetailMessage() {
return detailMessage;
}
public void setDetailMessage(String detailMessage) {
this.detailMessage = detailMessage;
}
}
Now in your case throwing exception can be like :
class Abc {
ResponseEntity<String> = response;
static final String url = "https://abc-xyz.com/client-rest-end-point-url";
public ResponseEntity getDetails(RequestInput requestInput) {
if(requestInput==null){
throw new TestException("FAILED", "1", "Data can't be null");
}
}
Annotate your method with @ExceptionHandler annotation. You can code in seperate class from controller.
@ControllerAdvice
public class YourExceptionHandler {
@ExceptionHandler(CustomException.class)
public String xException() {
return "error/exception";
}
}
