Class InvalidRequest

java.lang.Object

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.InvalidRequest

public static class InvalidRequest
extends java.lang.Object

The InvalidRequest exception indicates that the request is malformed in such a way that the server is unable to process it.

Examples:

• The XML in a SOAP request is not well-formed so the server cannot parse the request.
• The XML in a SOAP request is well-formed but does not match the structure required by the SOAP specification.
• A JSON-RPC request is not valid JSON.
• The JSON sent in a JSON-RPC request is not a valid JSON-RPC Request object.
• The Request object from a JSON-RPC request does not match the structure required by the API infrastructure.

Counterexamples:

• The parameter has a value that is not with the required range. The InvalidArgument exception would be used instead.
• The name of the method specified in the request doesn't not match any known method. The NotFound exception would be used instead.

Some transport protocols (for example JSON-RPC) include their own mechanism for reporting these kinds of errors, and the API infrastructure for a programming language may expose the errors using a language specific mechanism, so this exception might not be used.
