[oslc-core] Question/remarks about error responses

[Thunissen Marc]

Hello,

 

I am a little bit disappointed about the definition of the Error and ExtendedError resources definition.

 

I would like to be able to return brief and understandable error messages, and in some case I also need to provide more information to help the diagnose on the OSLC client.

 

I can use the oslc:Error.oslc:message property for the understandable message but I can't find a place for the additional information.

The oslc:ExtendedError.oslc:moreInfo is defined as a resource to provide "by reference".

This means that another REST request must be issued to get the this information.

So I must keep the details of the error somewhere on the server !?

But, by definition, REST does not allow this.

 

So what should I do ?

 

Best regards,

 

Marc
