[NETCONF-1130] (devices) POST returns 500 on data already exists

Blocks — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 12:59:40 +0000

Successfully create a resource of your choice on device using POST request. Then invoke the same request again, for example:

POST

http://localhost:8181/rests/data/network-topology:network-topology/topology=topology-netconf/node=17830-sim-device/yang-ext:mount

{
  "toaster:toaster": {
    "toasterManufacturer": "pantheon",
    "toasterModelNumber": 25,
    "toasterStatus": "up",
    "darknessFactor": 1000
  }
}

We get the error response (500 Internal Server Error):

<html><head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <title>Error 500 Internal Server Error</title>
</head><body>
    <h2>HTTP ERROR 500 Internal Server Error</h2>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>URI:</th>
            <td>/rests/data/network-topology:network-topology/topology=topology-netconf/node=17830-sim-device/yang-ext:mount
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>STATUS:</th>
            <td>500</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>MESSAGE:</th>
            <td>Internal Server Error</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>SERVLET:</th>
            <td>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</td>
        </tr>
    </table></body></html>

According to RFC 8040 we should get 409 Conflict. Something similar to:

<errors xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf">
    <error>
        <error-type>protocol</error-type>
        <error-tag>data-exists</error-tag>
        <error-path
        xmlns:rc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf"
        xmlns:jbox="https://example.com/ns/example-jukebox">\
        /rc:restconf/rc:data/jbox:jukebox
        </error-path>
        <error-message>
        Data already exists; cannot create new resource
        </error-message>
    </error>
</errors>
