Input validation fails

[jnehring]

This cURL

curl -v -d @test.txt "http://api.freme-project.eu/current/e-entity/freme-ner/documents/?informat=text&input=&outformat=json-ld&language=en&dataset=dbpedia"

with this test.txt produces "Internal Server Exception". The problem is that the submitted input is empty because of &input=&outformat=....

This should produce a "Bad Request" and proper error message.

[m1ci]

shouldn't this exception be thrown while validating the params using NIFParameterSet?

[jnehring]

should this exception be thrown while validating the params using NIFParameterSet?

True. I will change the code.

Still no entities spotted removing input=& with the same text.

curl -v -d @test.txt "http://api-dev.freme-project.eu/current/e-entity/freme-ner/documents/?informat=text&outformat=json-ld&language=en&dataset=dbpedia&enrichement=dbpedia-categories"

[x-fran]

I'm assuming that this a valid cUrl call

curl -v -d @test.txt "http://api-dev.freme-project.eu/current/e-entity/freme-ner/documents/?informat=text&outformat=json-ld&language=en&dataset=dbpedia&enrichement=dbpedia-categories"

Running the test against the test.txt file I get no entities.

Now, if I delete the first paragraph from the text

The funny part is that "EMC_E2" spotted entity does not show up in the content and all categories are related to "locomotives".

This is the link from where I get the content. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/7786936c-73fc-11e5-bdb1-e6e4767162cc.html#axzz3p07brijW

Hope this helps somehow.

Can you please move the discussion about getting no entities to a new GitHub issue? We should not mix up different topics in the same discussion. This issue is about a request that produces the answer "BadRequest".

[jnehring]

The problem does not occur anymore. Above API request works as expected.
