[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-1422) REST addon should support generation of exception mappers for validation errors

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Vineet Reynolds commented on FORGE-1422: ---------------------------------------- [~epbernard], [~ron_sigal], thanks for your comments. I think this feature is exactly what would help here, with of course client-side logic to parse the JSON and display errors in the UI. The reason why the generated REST resources dont use RESTEasy is because the generator is designed to emit code with only Java EE 6/7 APIs. All of the commands in the Java EE addon (of which the REST command is one) are designed this way (to use only the standards). I'd say that based on your comments, it would be beneficial to create a RESTEasy addon in Forge that wouldn't be constrained by this limitation. The other alternative is to perform contextual code generation based on the presence of a JBoss BOM, but we haven't come anywhere close to realizing this. And if we do this the lazy way (by hoisting it into the Java EE addon) it might bloat the addon, and also result in people demanding support for other JAX-RS stacks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
