Thanks [~arash] 

I am able to regenerate the issue, I have set the action ="POST" in createProject service, call it as 

POST [https://localhost:8443/rest/services/createProject] with empty body

Got 500 error in response. 

 

Error from console

 
{code:java}
 
SEVERE: An exception has been thrown from an exception mapper class org.apache.ofbiz.ws.rs.spi.impl.GenericServiceExceptionMapper.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The request object has been recycled and is no longer associated with this facade
 at org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade.checkFacade(RequestFacade.java:855)

>             Project: OFBiz
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: rest-api
>    Affects Versions: 24.09.02
>            Reporter: Arashpreet Singh
>            Priority: Major

> When a REST API exposed via the {{rest-api}} module is called and an exception occurs during execution, OFBiz initially returns an appropriate error response. However, if the same API is called again and the exception persists, OFBiz returns a generic HTTP 500 Internal Server Error without providing the specific error message or exception details that were returned on the first call.
> *Steps to Reproduce:*
>  # Call a REST API (e.g., {{{}/rest/some-endpoint{}}}) that is expected to raise an exception due to missing input, business logic failure, or invalid state.
>  # Observe the first response – it contains a descriptive error message.
>  # Without fixing the root cause, call the same API again.
>  # The second response returns HTTP 500 Internal Server Error without the original error message.
> *Expected Behavior:*
>  * The API should return a consistent and descriptive error response each time the same exception occurs, not a generic 500 error.
