We have been using ServiceStack for REST based services for a while now and so far it has been amazing.
All of our services have been written as:
public class MyRestService : RestService<RestServiceDto>
{
public override object OnGet(RestServiceDto request)
{
}
}
For each DTO we have Response equivalent object:
public class RestServiceDto
{
public ResponseStatus ResponseStatus {get;set;}
}
which handles all the exceptions should they get thrown.
What I noticed is if an exception is thrown in the OnGet()
or OnPost()
methods, then the http status description contains the name of the exception class where as if I threw a:
new HttpError(HttpStatus.NotFound, "Some Message");
then the http status description contains the text "Some Message".
Since some of the rest services are throwing exceptions and others are throwing new HttpError()
, I was wondering if there was a way without changing all my REST services to catch any exceptions and throw a new HttpError()?
So for example, if the OnGet()
method throws an exception, then catch it and throw a new HttpError()
?
