CPS Exceptions and REST APIs HTTP Response Codes

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.ietf.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xml"

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

Remarks

Decision

Who &When

1

treatment of incorrect dataspace, schemaset (names)

These are core concept of CPS and should be correct/exists (except in create use cases of course)

Introduce specific exception for each extending new CPSAdminException class
re-use same exception in API (pass through)
Treat as bad URL in REST interface

Using different HTTP Response code (400 v 404) depending on type of operation, adding data/requesting data

It 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 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

#	Use case	Scenario	DB (Spring) Response	SPI Response	Java API	REST API Response Code	Response Body	Error Object Message
1	Add dataspace	dataspace already exists	DataIntegrityViolationException	DataspaceAlreadyDefinedException	DataspaceAlreadyDefinedException	400 (bad request)	json error object	dataspace xyz already defined
2	Add schema set to dataspace	schema set with same name already exists	DataIntegrityViolationException	SchemaSetAlreadyDefinedException	SchemaSetAlreadyDefinedException	400 (bad request)	json error object	schema set xyz already defined for dataspace abc
3	Add schema set to dataspace	dataspacename does not exist	No records (Optional, not present)	DataspaceNotFoundException	DataspaceNotFoundException	400 (bad request)	json error object	TBD
4	Add schema set to dataspace	the schema set throws a validation exception when parsed with ODL Yang Parser e.g. No files (in zip) Missing (import) files Incorrect yang in a module Duplicate namespaces	N/A	N/A	ModelValidationException (e casue) details should contain cause message	400 (bad request)	json error object	message and details from the original exception.
5	List anchors for dataspace name	dataspacename does not exist	No records (Optional, not present)	DataspaceNotFoundException	DataspaceNotFoundException	400 (bad request)	json error object	dataspace xyz not found
6	List anchors for dataspace name	no anchor records in DB	0 records	empty collection	empty collection	200 (ok)	empty list	N/A
7	Add a fragment	Insert a fragment that violates the unique constraint e.g. when trying to insert a fragment with the same property values(dataspace_id,anchor_id,xpath) as an existing fragment.	DataIntegrityViolationException
8	Remove schema set	Schema set removal is requested from REST (or via API/SPI with explicitly defined option prohibiting removal of associated anchors and data if found) and there is (are) associated anchor record(s) in database.	N/A	SchemaSetInUseException	SchemaSetInUseException	409 (Conflict)	json error object	schama set abc in dataspace xyz is having anchor records associated.
9	Get a fragment that does not exist	get fragment by xpath that does not exist	FragmentNotFoundException	DataNodeNotFoundException	DataNodeNotFoundException	400 (bad request)	json error object	datanode with xpath xyz not found in dataspace xyz
10	Invalid cps path	a cpsPath that cannot be parsed i.e. not recognized as a valid query 2021-03-08T14:57:19.343Z\|main\|\| o.onap.cps.rest.exceptions.CpsRestExceptionHandler - An error has occurred : Invalid cps path.

Status: 400 BAD_REQUEST Details: Unsupported leaf value in cps path.	CpsPathException	CpsPathException	CpsPathException	400 (bad request)	json error object	message and details from the original exception.
11	Data node already exists	Create the same data node twice	DataIntegrityViolationException	DataNodeAlreadyDefined	DataNodeAlreadyDefined	409 (Conflict)	json error object	Data node already defined for dataspace abc
12	Unsupported update node leaves	Unsupported json data when Conversion of a normalized node to a datanode within the datanode builder class. private DataNode buildFromNormalizedNodeTree() { final Collection<DataNode> dataNodeCollection = buildCollectionFromNormalizedNodeTree(); return dataNodeCollection.iterator().next(); } 2. Parsing list json data	NoSuchElementException IllegalStateException	DataValidationException	DataValidationException	400	json error object	"Unsupported json data: " + jsonData
13	Delete dataspace with anchor/s	Delete dataspace that still contains 1 or more anchor		DataspaceInUseException	DataspaceInUseException	409 (Conflict)	json error object	dataspace contains anchor(s)
14	Delete dataspace with schemaset/s	Delete dataspace that still contains 1 or more schemaset		DataspaceInUseException	DataspaceInUseException	409 (Conflict)	json error object	dataspace contains schemaset(s)
