[jira] Commented: (WW-2515) REST plugin does not throw a 404 if
resource cannot be found
[ https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2515?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=43668#action_43668 ]
Don Brown commented on WW-2515:
-------------------------------
Another idea is to simply set the 404 status on the HttpHeaders object, which should result in the correct outcome. I can see the advantage of exceptions, as it makes the flow in the Action code easier, however, so that may be the best solution in the end.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin - REST
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1
> Environment: Struts 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT using Jetty 6.1.5
> Reporter: Sarat Pediredla

> When there is a GET request for a resource that does not exist, example GET /authors/25 where author with id 25 does not exist, the getModel() method of the action should return null (and in most cases will return null as the object does not exist).
> However, the current ContentTypeInterceptor implementation is not entirely RESTful as the right response should be HTTP Status Code 404 "Not Found".
> I have patched the ContentTypeInterceptor to return a 404 status if the requested resource could not be found.
