when i use below code , what is the case to get HttpStatusCodeException
exception .
ResponseEntity<Object> response =
restTemplate.exchange(builder.build().encode().toUri(), HttpMethod.GET, entity, Object.class);
Please can anyone help out ????????
HTTP Status Codes are responses from the server, therefore if you have control of the server then you could make it return whichever errors you want. If you don't have control of the server then you could try sending bad/invalid requests so that the server will complain.
Something like this on your server side:
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity getAnError() {
// complain!
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN);
}
According to documentation there are two types of HttpStatusCodeException
HttpClientErrorException
and HttpServerErrorException
.
- The former is thrown when an HTTP 4xx is received.
- The latter is thrown when an HTTP 5xx is received.
so you can just use ResponseEntity.BodyBuilder.status(505) for example to raise an HttpServerErrorException
in your
exhange(...) method of org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate
class was added in 3.1.0.RELEASE
of spring-web library.
This method throws RestClientException
which covers client (4_xx) and server (5_xx) side http code errors. But RestClientException
doesn't offer getStatusCode(), getResponseAsString()
, etc... methods.
HttpsStatusCodeException
is the child of RestClientException
which is doing same thing but with additional methods like getStatusCode(), getResponseAsString()
, etc.
HttpClientErrorException
child of HttpsStatusCodeException
and only entertain client error (4_xx) not the server error.
HttpServerErrorException
child of HttpsStatusCodeException
and only entertain server error (5_xx) not the client error.
