Handling different response scenarios

[Rick Mann]

Modeling my user registration method after that in Auction, I've got this:

https://github.com/JetForMe/hoa/blob/master/src/main/java/com/latencyzero/hoa/AbstractHOASession.java?ts=4#L44

But I don't see how to return an HttpStatus of 409 (CONFLICT) in the case. In addition, I want to return a completely different JSON response than the one afforded by UserPublic (something indicating the error during registration).

Is that even possible?

Yep, sending errors is possible though this case requires a more
general UserCreateResponse object that should either contain a
UserPublic if the operation completed successfully, or exception. The
cases should be distinguished by the status code that I'd recommend be
included in UserCreateResponse and be a business specific error as
opposed to http status.

That's not very RESTful. A 409 CONFLICT is a good response when trying to create two users with the same ID.

Similarly, I want to send 201 CREATED when user registration is successful.

I see where you are going. Try sending null in OK and set the status to 409.

I don't see any way to set the status on a Result<UserPublic>. It's only on RequestWeb, as far as I can see.

Right, I assumed that was RequestWeb. It needs to be RequestWeb if you
were to change the status.
