How to make a custom chain/operation returning custom error code 500

Hi all

I'm implementing a custom operation and using chainException framework to capture exception thrown in a chain, based on:

https://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC/Automation+Chain+Exception

<extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.core.operation.OperationServiceComponent"
	point="chains">

	<chain id="**customExceptionReturn**">
		<operation id="**Custom.Exception.Create**" />
	</chain>

And it works ok. I can select the chain to be thrown when my custom chain fails and I can return a custom exception from this chain. But the webEngine returns a HTTP 200 code when I want it to return a 500.

This is my Exception public class CustomException extends RestOperationException {}

and how is it used in operation Custom.Exception.Create :

	@OperationMethod()
	public CustomException run() throws CustomException{
		CustomException retVal = null;
		Object excName = ctx.get("exceptionName");
		Object excObject = ctx.get("exceptionObject");
		_log.error("Registering new CustomException: " + excObject);
		retVal = (CustomException)excObject;
		retVal.setStatus(500);
	}

The exception is extracted correctly and I can set the correct message, but it throws a 200 code instead a 500 (as set in my code).

This is the result:

{
  "entity-type": "org.custom.nuxeo.operations.exception.CustomException",
  "value": {
    "className": "org.custom.nuxeo.operations.exception.CustomException",
    "status": 500,
    "rollback": true,
    "cause": null,
    "message": "OLEEEE is not a registered core type",
    "localizedMessage": "OLEEEE is not a registered core type",
 ...

And I want this this way:

{
  "entity-type": "exception",
  "code": "org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.TraceException",
  "status": 500,
  "stacktrace": "org.nuxeo.ecm.webengine.W

I've take a look at https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo/blob/6.0-HF27/nuxeo-features/rest-api/nuxeo-rest-api-server/src/main/java/org/nuxeo/ecm/restapi/server/jaxrs/adapters/OperationAdapter.java#L94

But I could not get it working.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Finally I found a solution,

Create your own Exception

public class MyException extends RestOperationException {

Be sure to extend RestOperationException

In your operation, throw your exception

...
MyException exc = new MyException(e.getMessage(), e);
...

If you are using a chain instead an operation, take a look at that https://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC/Automation+Chain+Exception

And, in your custom operation to catch the exception (chainExceptionA in the example) do this:

	@OperationMethod()
	public OperationException run() throws OperationException{
		MyException retVal = null;
		if (_log.isDebugEnabled()) {
		    _log.debug("Running operation: " + MyExceptionCreateOperation.ID);
		}
		Object excName = ctx.get("exceptionName");
		Object excObject = ctx.get("exceptionObject");
		_log.error("Registering new MyException: " + excObject, (Throwable)excObject);
		int returnCode = 500;
		if (excObject instanceof MyException) {
			retVal = (MyException)excObject;
			returnCode = 400;
		} else if (excObject instanceof Throwable) {
			Throwable t = (Throwable)excObject;
			retVal = new MyException(t.getMessage());
		} else {
			if (StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(message)) {
				message = "Unexpected exception [" + excName + "]: " 
					+ excObject.getClass().getName();
			}
			retVal = new MyException(message);
		}
		((RestOperationContext)ctx).setHttpStatus(returnCode);
**		retVal.setStatus(returnCode);**
		return retVal;
	}
