Class JsonHttpErrorHandler

java.lang.Object

play.http.JsonHttpErrorHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

HttpErrorHandler

public class JsonHttpErrorHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements HttpErrorHandler

An alternative default HTTP error handler which will render errors as JSON messages instead of HTML pages. In Dev mode, exceptions thrown by the server code will be rendered in JSON messages. In Prod mode, they will not be rendered. You could override how exceptions are rendered in Dev mode by extending this class and overriding the [[formatDevServerErrorException]] method.

Method Detail

onClientError

public java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<Result> onClientError(Http.RequestHeader request,
                                                                  int statusCode,
                                                                  java.lang.String message)

Description copied from interface: HttpErrorHandler

Invoked when a client error occurs, that is, an error in the 4xx series.

Specified by:

onClientError in interface HttpErrorHandler

Parameters:

request - The request that caused the client error.

statusCode - The error status code. Must be greater or equal to 400, and less than 500.

message - The error message.

Returns:

a CompletionStage with the Result.

onServerError

public java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<Result> onServerError(Http.RequestHeader request,
                                                                  java.lang.Throwable exception)

Description copied from interface: HttpErrorHandler

Invoked when a server error occurs.

Specified by:

onServerError in interface HttpErrorHandler

Parameters:

request - The request that triggered the server error.

exception - The server error.

Returns:

a CompletionStage with the Result.

throwableToUsefulException

protected final play.api.UsefulException throwableToUsefulException(java.lang.Throwable throwable)

Convert the given exception to an exception that Play can report more information about.

This will generate an id for the exception, and in dev mode, will load the source code for the code that threw the exception, making it possible to report on the location that the exception was thrown from.

logServerError

protected void logServerError(Http.RequestHeader request,
                              play.api.UsefulException usefulException)

Responsible for logging server errors.

The base implementation uses play.Logger.error to log, which uses the SLF4J "application" logger. If a special annotation is desired for internal server errors, you may want to use SLF4J directly with the Marker API to distinguish server errors from application errors.

This can also be overridden to add additional logging information, eg. the id of the authenticated user.

Parameters:

request - The request that triggered the server error.

usefulException - The server error.

devServerError

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode devServerError(Http.RequestHeader request,
                                                                 play.api.UsefulException exception)

Invoked in dev mode when a server error occurs.

Parameters:

request - The request that triggered the error.

exception - The exception.

formatDevServerErrorException

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode formatDevServerErrorException(java.lang.Throwable exception)

Format a Throwable as a JSON value. Override this method if you want to change how exceptions are rendered in Dev mode.

Parameters:

exception - an exception

Returns:

a JSON representation of the passed exception

prodServerError

protected com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode prodServerError(Http.RequestHeader request,
                                                                  play.api.UsefulException exception)

Invoked in prod mode when a server error occurs. Override this rather than #onServerError(RequestHeader, Throwable) if you don't want to change Play's debug output when logging errors in dev mode.

Parameters:

request - The request that triggered the error.

exception - The exception.
