Went through the link https://www.mkyong.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-ajax-example/
and observed the following
Don't type any name and hit search button - Bad Request - It Comes to Error Function of Ajax - User Can't be Empty - Form Validation. Ajax response is error in this case.
Type "Raju" in name field and hit search button - Business Error - Returned with Success Function. Ajax response is success in this case.
Assume i have thrown a run time exception in getSearchResultViaAjax() as below
AjaxResponseBody result = new AjaxResponseBody();
if(1==1) {
throw new RuntimeException();
}
The same Ajax error block is getting called.
error: function (e) {
var json = "<h4>Ajax Response Error </h4><pre>"
+ e.responseText + "</pre>";
$('#feedback').html(json);
console.log("ERROR pp : ", e);
$("#btn-search").prop("disabled", false);
}
So for Bad Request and Any Exception which comes Out side the box comes in error block
Which would be the correct approach in the following ? If both of them is incorrect, help me with the best practice
Approach One
- Throw form validation errors as as Ajax Response is ERROR with failure message to display
- Throw Business validation errors as Ajax Response is SUCCESS with failure message to display
- Throw any other exception as Ajax Response is ERROR with failure message to display
OR
Approach Two
- Throw form validation error as Ajax Response is ERROR with failure message to display ('User Field is Empty')
- Throw Business validation errors as Ajax Response is FAILURE with failure message to display ('User Name doesn't exist')
- Throw any other exception as Ajax Response is ERROR with failure message to display
What would be the best approach or best practice ?
