ContainerRequestContext.abortWith(Response response) does not work

I tried RESTEasy's (WildFly 16) abortWith(Response response) but did not work. I have multiple abortWith medhods. Such as,

if(fails1){
   System.out.printn("fails 1");
   abortWith(...)
}
if(fails2){
   System.out.printn("fails 2");
   abortWith(...);
}

If fails1 and fails2 are true, both abortWith methods are executed. The fails1's abortWith does not return response unless I put "return".

if(fails1){
   System.out.printn("fails 1");
   abortWith(...);
   return;
}

Do I need to put return after abortWith? Can I throw WebApplicationException to break filter chain?

Solution

  • The ContainerRequestContext.abortWith() aborts the filter chain, not the current filter being processed. You can either add the return statement like you suggest or throw a WebApplicationException to raise and exception.
