[aerogear-dev] Validation for creating/updating push apps and their variants

Following up on [1], currently we give 400 (Bad Request), with no good meaning, when creating/updating a PushApplication or a Variant; The HTML page(!) simply says "The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect " As suggested in [1] a good idea is using Bean Validation and returning better errors. The result would be a 400 (Bad Request) response, containing the errors and their messages as a JSON object (instead of a HTML page). E.g.: {"name":"may not be null"} This is a) more meaningful and we can also get rid of our 'hard-coded' validation rules, like: https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/blob/master/src/m... -Matthias [1] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH-255 -- Matthias Wessendorf blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ sessions: http://www.slideshare.net/mwessendorf twitter: http://twitter.com/mwessendorf
