I have the following line of code
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
Everything is simple and beautiful when the HttpStatus enum has the value I need. But today I needed status code210. And there is no such choice between HttpStatus enums value. Maybe you know a clean and tidy way how I can set the 210 status code?
@ResponseStatus only allows you to use HttpStatus as the parameter, and HttpStatus does not allow you to provide a custom code (it's an enum, so the set of values is fixed).
To return a custom status code, you'll need to change your controller method to return ResponseEntity<YourResponseType>, and then specify the code via HttpStatusCode.valueOf:
return new ResponseEntity<String>("Hello World", HttpStatusCode.valueOf(210));
It is worth mentioning that 210 is not a status code that is defined in the HTTP spec - if possible, you'd probably be better off changing to use a status code that more accurately reflects the outcome of the API call. But I appreciate sometimes you have to do weird things when integrating systems :)
