Question

This is the piece of code that I am using.

The ok(Object items) method is internally calling Jersey’s Response.ok() method when items is null.

    MembershipRequestModel membershipRequest = null;
    membershipRequest = communityService.addUserToCommunity(communityId, userId);
    if(membershipRequest != null) {
    // Add code 303 if returning membershiprequest
    return seeOther( membershipRequest, 
                   String.valueOf(membershipRequest.getId()), 
                   MembershipRequestRestHandlerImpl.class);
    } else {
    return ok(null);
}

public Response ok() {
    return Response.ok().build();
}

public Response ok(Object items) {
  if ( items == null )
    return ok();

  return Response.ok().entity(items).build();
}

But, I am getting the response as 204 No Content which should have actually been 200 OK. I have tried it using RESTClient firefox plugin and cURL command on CentOS.

Please help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If there is no body, 204 will be returned.

all 2XX are success.

204 means success with no content (no entity body).
