Handle Jira WorkflowException from REST Plugin Module

[Albert Cameron]

Is it possible to show jira user WorkflowException from REST Plugin Module ?

A simple web fragment call a REST Plugin Module API Url. 

If the API throws a WorkflowException it is not passed to the client. Instead I get a status code 500 Error. I need to find a way to pass WorkflowException to the client as it is done in a normal postfunction . I am not sure if it is possible.

Hi @Albert Cameron 

Can you share your code, and share example of the requests sent to it that throws 500?

@GET
@Path("/{key}")
@AnonymousAllowed
@Produces({MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA})
public Response getMessage(@Context HttpServletRequest request, @Context HttpServletResponse response,
                           @PathParam("key") String issueKey) {
    
    // Here I throw for example a WorkflowException, but this WorkflowException
    // will not be shown in Jira client, instead client will get a nonsense page
    // saying This page is not reachable 
    throw new WorkflowException("Just a test!");
    
 
    return Response.ok().build();
}

It will never show the normal Jira popup I am used to when there is a workflowException
