'documents': error when template ID is not a long

[pheyvaer]

e.g., a string instead of a long. This should result in a bad request exception.

Same for templates/{tempalteid}.

[m1ci]

for /documents - if you specify string for templateid you receive

{
  "exception": "org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException",
  "path": "/e-link/documents",
  "message": "Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'long'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: \"dsad\"",
  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "status": 500,
  "timestamp": 1445870485848
}

similar error is returned when you want to retrieve template with ID of type string.

IMO its clear that there is NumberFormatException and that the required type is long. Or?

[pheyvaer]

the error is clear, but should the status code not be 400 instead of 500? bc the error is caused by the user and the not the server?

[m1ci]

its caused by the server: org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException

I also think this should be 400 - bad request. This error seems to be thrown by spring so I will try to fix it.

I changed this. Unfortunately I could not use an automatic type validation by spring. In the e-Link endpoint I retrieved the value as string and then did the type check manually. I could not find a better solution. The solution is not very elegant but it works.

@pheyvaer please double check if the issue is solved and close the issue if it works now.
