El enfoque que he tomado es simplemente lanzar excepciones de las acciones del controlador api y tener un filtro de excepción registrado que procese la excepción y establezca una respuesta adecuada en el contexto de ejecución de la acción.
El filtro expone una interfaz fluida que proporciona un medio para registrar controladores para tipos específicos de excepciones antes de registrar el filtro con configuración global.
El uso de este filtro permite el manejo centralizado de excepciones en lugar de distribuirlo entre las acciones del controlador. Sin embargo, hay casos en los que detectaré excepciones dentro de la acción del controlador y devolveré una respuesta específica si no tiene sentido centralizar el manejo de esa excepción en particular.
Ejemplo de registro de filtro:
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Filters.Add(
new UnhandledExceptionFilterAttribute()
.Register<KeyNotFoundException>(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
.Register<SecurityException>(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden)
.Register<SqlException>(
(exception, request) =>
{
var sqlException = exception as SqlException;
if (sqlException.Number > 50000)
{
var response = request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
response.ReasonPhrase = sqlException.Message.Replace(Environment.NewLine, String.Empty);
return response;
}
else
{
return request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
}
}
)
);
