Changing response status code
Hi all,
How can i change the Response status code in Axis handlers?
When there is an error, the response contains the soap fault. But, the response header shows status code as 500 (internal server error).
I wanted to change the status code to 403(forbidden).
How could i do it ?
Regards,
Sathish

Sathish,
The SOAP spec requires that all SOAP Fault responses show a status
code of 500. You should not try to make this change.

Hello Carter,
I tried to do a ldap authentication from one of my handlers, and when the
authentication fails, the http response header contains a 500 (internal
server error) status code.
We thought 403(forbidden) error code would be appropriate. Or even 200(OK)
might be enough since we have a soap fault constructed and contains the
details of authentication failure.
So, we were searching whether axis would allow us to set a different
response error code.
Thanks,
Sathish

If you are returning a SOAP Fault, you are required to return a 500
Status code, even if the error is related to security. From the WS-I
BP:
R1126 An INSTANCE MUST return a "500 Internal Server Error" HTTP
status code if the response envelope is a Fault.

Err.....no.
Not to be totally unpleasant or anything but, the status codes exist for
a reason.
500 means internal server error which means your WS has a problem or the
server has.
More than likely your WS framework is not constructed properly.
Perhaps if you could explain the problem a bit more we can discuss a
solution within a software engineering context that makes sense for your WS.
However, just a note. You don't break the framework/api to correct
application design errors.
