Abstract
You now have the ability to specify the message to return when an attempt to invoke the web service implementation code fails.
Content
You are in: IBM i Technology Updates > Welcome to IBM Integrated Web Services for i Technology Updates > Return payloads on error HTTP status codes
What is it?
A new web page that is shown for each procedure where you can specify a user-defined message and HTTP status code to be used when an unexpected error happens. In addition, you can also set the HTTP status code to return on a successful invocation of the web service implementation code, although on successful calls that HTTP status code specified here is overridden by any HTTP status code that the web service implementation code returns. Finally, you can specify the trim mode for character fields, which is the removal of leading or trailing spaces from character strings.
Why use it?
You can hide the details of the exception from clients, or give them more information on whom to contact when an unexpected error happens.
The trim mode gives you further options on how to handle character fields.
