Policies Are Aborted When OAG Filter Fails With A Java Exception (Doc ID 2032531.1)

Last updated on AUGUST 01, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle API Gateway - Version 11.1.2.1.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

An Oracle API Gateway (OAG) filter fails with a Java exception.
The failure path of the filter which failed then is not entered, rather, the policy is aborted.

How can this failure of the filter be handled?

In the example messages below, an HTTP Basic Authentication filter fails with a com.vordel.circuit.authn.HTTP401Exception.

DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] run circuit "<POLICY>"...
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] run filter [HTTP Basic] {
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>]     HttpBasicFilter.invoke: Send 401 exception
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>]     401 Exception
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] } = 2, filter [HTTP Basic]
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] Filter [HTTP Basic] completes in 0 milliseconds.
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] ..."<POLICY>" complete.
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] HTTP Basic
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] Policy '<POLICY>' {
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>]     Filter 'HTTP Basic' Status:  ABORTED
DEBUG   <TIMESTAMP> [<THREAD ID>] }
