Custom Errors

Service code may return custom error code and/or error message using the API documented below. The API also supports returning an HTTP status code along with the error code/message. The following sample service demonstrates possible usages of the custom error API:

package com.mbaas;

import com.backendless.exceptions.BackendlessException;
import com.backendless.servercode.IBackendlessService;

public class ErrorService implements IBackendlessService
{
  public void generateCustomError()
  {
    String errorMessage = "I am a specific error message";
    String errorCode = "245";
    throw new BackendlessException( errorMessage, errorCode );
  }

  public void generateCustomErrorWithHTTPstatusCode()
  {
    String errorMessage = "I am a specific error message";
    String errorCode = "245";
    int httpStatusCode = 500;
    throw new BackendlessException( errorMessage, errorCode, httpStatusCode );
  }
}
