ONAP Guidelines

Finally found general ONAP Advise:

"The API specification should describe the right HTTP status code to return the client.

Status codes should align with IETF's HTTP Status Code Registry: https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xhtml#http-status-codes-1

Agreed CPS  API(SPI) Exception Hierarchy

(see CCSDK-2871 DP: Long-term Java API(s)

  • CpsException
    • CpsAdminException
      • DataspaceNotFoundException
      • DataspaceAlreadyDefinedException
      • SchemaSetNotFoundException
      • SchemaSetValidationException
      • SchemaSetAlreadyDefinedException  (this is separate from SchemaSetValidationException as it could be ignored by the client)
      • AnchorAlreadyDefinedException
      • AnchorNotFoundException
    • ModelValidationException (mainly applicable to schema set validation)
    • DataValidationException
      • SpecificException3
      • SpecificException4
    • PathValidationException
      • SpecificException5

*Note we might have to move these 'common' exceptions classes to the SPI just like we did with the common data objects

Issues & Decisions

#SloganRemarks

Decision

Who &When
1treatment of incorrect dataspace, schemaset (names) These are core concept of CPS and should be correct/exists (except in create use cases of course)
  1. Introduce specific exception for each extending new CPSAdminException class
  2. re-use same exception in API (pass through)
  3. Treat as bad URL in REST interface
CPS Team Meeting 3 Dec
2Using different HTTP Response code (400 v 404) depending on type of operation, adding data/requesting dataIt might make sense to use 404 Not Found in a get scenario (ie like #3 scenario in the table below) 
But this would be wrong in a create/add data scenario. The Java API throws the same Exception so the REST Impl would need additional code to handle this distinction

Use 400 Bad requests in both scenarios for the following reasons

  • Consistency 
  • Simplicity of handling in REST Layer
  • HTTP error codes are always ambiguous, we will add documentation for each REST call anyway to specify which errors are used in which scenario

Implementation:

  • Invalid requests should return 400 with an explanation message instead of 500 without information (ex: Invalid combination of plugin service names, URI is not absolute, ...)
  • Add more information in the logs when dmi plugin service is not reachable (not currently enough to support and investigate).

  • for unexpected system errors

Specification

  • Should success always be 200 (general ok) instead of 201 (created) ?

Implementation

  • It does not seem consistent to return 404 with SDNC body response when operation is different from create, read update or delete.
  • SDNC response codes are handled differently for getting and writing data

General comments for all endpoints

Specification

2xx: Success - The action was successfully received, understood, and accepted

4xx: Client Error - The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled

5xx: Server Error - The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request

  • Always ensure that client request related errors return 4xx along with a clear explanation provided to the client about the reason for the error. When 4xx errors occur, the system itself is behaving as expected.
  • 500 response codes should only correspond to unexpected errors that require support investigation and effort in order to be fixed (ex: network communication issue, dependent component or system down, corrupted data, application bug, ...). For 500 errors no details are really expected in the response for the client, all the information to investigate the problem should be available in the logs.
  • Review 401 and 403 responses code from specification that are not implemented yet.

Implementation

  • Is NotFoundInDataspaceException used ? If not, could it be removed ?
  • Handling of DataNodeNotFoundException in CpsRestExceptionHandler supports a different return code (404) when http method is get. Is this implementation used ? If not, could it be removed ?

Required Changes:

  • 500 needs to be added to the specification for all endpoints


  • No labels

    Toine Siebelink , to be consistent within the all application, I think that we should provide some guidelines about which ones of these codes we are using and under which circumstances. For example, usage of 204 and 404 as we discussed few days ago.

    1. Toine Siebelink

      Yes I think you are right as the table above is still ambiguous. So lets record on this page that we are using 204 to record 'No Data Found' for any query-like operation like "list all x for y" I am still undecided what to do for a get-by-xpath if the xpath is valid but simply does NOT exist, I think it should also by 204 but we haven't done that user story/had that discussion yet...
