I have a REST operation. User wants to delete an object.

  • If a database error occurs
  • When writing to response with response.getWriter() if IOException occurs.

Which status code(500, 503 etc.) should I return to the client side.(I mean which one is more convenient?)

    500 sounds most appropriate here, unless you know it’s due to server overload.

    If response.getWriter() (or a later call to the writer) throws an IOException, then I suspect you’re beyond the stage of being able to usefully affect the response received by the client anyway…
