[jira] Updated: (WW-2358) RestWorkflowInterceptor in struts2-rest-plugin is returning a status which kills browser sessions

James Holmes updated WW-2358:
-----------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: Future)
                   2.1.3

In my opinion this needs to be resolved as part of the 2.1.x release cycle as that's where we're introducing the REST plugin.

> The RestWorkflowInterceptor in the struts2-rest-plugin is a cool addition but unfortunately returns SC_BAD_REQUEST on validation fail, which might work with testing frameworks but kills real browsers.
> The response tested on Safari 3 and Firefox 2.0.0.11 just shows a blank screen. 
> If I change the following line from,
> HttpHeaders info = new DefaultHttpHeaders()
>             	    .disableCaching()
>             	    .renderResult(method)
>             	    .withStatus(SC_BAD_REQUEST);
>             	
> to,
> HttpHeaders info = new DefaultHttpHeaders()
>             	    .disableCaching()
>             	    .renderResult(method);
> then it works great as the server returns the right result as of validation failure (editNew in this case)
> I am not entirely sure what the solution to this would be; either using a status code that the browsers will respond to or maybe not have a status code at all (although this might not be strictly RESTful) given that errors are sent back in a Map.
