Returning custom HTTP codes after schema validation or other errors

[cj19]

Hi!

Which is the best practice to change the return HTTP code? I am aware of manipulating it in the interceptors, but is there better way? Changing the message return code or something like this? Can you give me a direction where to search for the best option?
Thanks in advance

Hi @cj19, thanks for an interesting exscecise!

I have added a test demoing two ways to do that:

• Throwing a Fault https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-cxf/pull/2079/changes#diff-cee703929af376cf9b56fd0bef7aedf5c66284f96d8921cfaaea6fa670824310R22-R25
• message.put(Message.RESPONSE_CODE, 401) in an Interceptor: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-cxf/pull/2079/changes#diff-dc58e3796413f7fdfa9b4a65e0542d29add0ec4c848dd46a4fcdf4faa0cf7bcfR16-R35
  See also https://docs.quarkiverse.io/quarkus-cxf/dev/user-guide/interceptors-features-handlers/cxf-interceptors-and-features.html for wiring interceptors

I hope that's enough. There might be other ways.

Hi @ppalaga, thanks for your response!

For some reason, message.put(Message.RESPONSE_CODE, 401) didn’t work in my case. However, the following approach did the trick:

HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) message.getExchange().getInMessage().get(AbstractHTTPDestination.HTTP_RESPONSE)

not sure this is the best way, though.

Thank you for your quick response and for the the valuable examples!
