Class StatusService

java.lang.Object

org.restlet.service.Service

org.restlet.service.StatusService

public class StatusService
extends Service

Service to handle error statuses. If an exception is thrown within your application or Restlet code, it will be intercepted by this service if it is enabled.

When an exception or an error is caught, the getStatus(Throwable, Request, Response) method is first invoked to obtain the status that you want to set on the response. If this method isn't overridden or returns null, the Status.SERVER_ERROR_INTERNAL constant will be set by default.

Also, when the status of a response returned is an error status (see Status.isError(), the getRepresentation(Status, Request, Response) method is then invoked to give your service a chance to override the default error page.

If you want to customize the default behavior, you need to create a subclass of StatusService that overrides some or all of the methods mentioned above. Then, just create a instance of your class and set it on your Component or Application via the setStatusService() methods.

In case the response's entity has already been set, the status service does not generate an error representation. You can turn off this default behavior by calling the setOverwriting(boolean) method.
