Re: [Hawkular-dev] [metrics] Consistent error replies from REST API
Hello,
Thanks for opening this issue again. I think we should follow a standard
here. Let me just copy-paste from my last email (Thread "REST ideas"):
Another REST issue we should agree on: The standard for error responses.
I've found, that there are several standards we can follow (or create
our own):

In my opinion it's fine to stick with the JSON API:
http://jsonapi.org/format/#errors
or stick with even simpler google style guide:

Hi,
There's a growing portion of application code in the metrics REST API
which returns errors (with whichever HTTP status) in the following form:
====
{"errorMsg": "blah"}

Whether this format is nice or suitable is not the purpose of this
message. I just want to draw your attention to the fact that being
consistent regarding error reporting is important.
In this regard, I've added a new ExceptionMapper for
org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ReaderException[2] instances. So now, not only
application errors conform to the format above, but also errors coming
from payload parsing.
Regards,
Thomas
