Conference_id should be a required field. Stub should include associated downstream objects for: -Conference Session Presenter -Presenter -Conference Session Type -Room -Company

With the conference_id being a required field, it now begs the question...How will we handle exceptions in the REST API? Here are two references I found:

https://blog.apigee.com/detail/restful_api_design_what_about_errors - shows examples of three different popular REST APIs and how they handle exceptions.

https://stormpath.com/blog/spring-mvc-rest-exception-handling-best-practices-part-1 - this shows an example of how to do it using Spring.

My preference is the second option, but for now, I am fine with throwing an Exception and therefore no response coming back to the client application. However, I am interested in discussing more.

Here is another example / library that may prove to be easier to implement for handling REST API Exceptions.

/api/conference/{conference_id}/conferenceSessions
