I'm using Spring Boot with @ResponseBody based approach like the following:
@RequestMapping(value = VIDEO_DATA_PATH, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody Response getData(@PathVariable(ID_PARAMETER) long id, HttpServletResponse res) {
Video video = null;
Response response = null;
video = videos.get(id - 1);
if (video == null) {
// TODO how to return 404 status
}
serveSomeVideo(video, res);
VideoSvcApi client = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint("http://localhost:8080").build().create(VideoSvcApi.class);
response = client.getData(video.getId());
return response;
}
public void serveSomeVideo(Video v, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
if (videoDataMgr == null) {
videoDataMgr = VideoFileManager.get();
}
response.addHeader("Content-Type", v.getContentType());
videoDataMgr.copyVideoData(v, response.getOutputStream());
response.setStatus(200);
response.addHeader("Content-Type", v.getContentType());
}
I tried some typical approaches as:
res.setStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND.value());
new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
but I need to return Response.
How to return here 404 status code if video is null?
This is very simply done by throwing org.springframework.web.server.ResponseStatusException
:
throw new ResponseStatusException(
HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "entity not found"
);
It's compatible with @ResponseBody
and with any return value. Requires Spring 5+
