Spring 4 web - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No matching constant for [0]

Question

I have some problems upgrading spring version (3.2.6 to 4.2.1).

I get 500 Internal server error when trying to get css and js files related to login page. At the server side I see the exception: 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No matching constant for [0]'

After debugging it I saw that in 'ResourceHttpRequestHandler.handleRequest()' method there's a check for the response status before setting any status to the response - causing 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No matching constant for [0]' exception.

The check is done in: 'ServletWebRequest.isCompatibleWithConditionalRequests(ServletWebRequest.java:244)'

which is called in 'ResourceHttpRequestHandler.handleRequest(ResourceHttpRequestHandler.java:240)'

When the status change phase happen only in 'writeContent(response, resource)' ResourceHttpRequestHandler.java:271.

I've found a workaround - use a custom 'ResourceHttpRequestHandler' that sets the response status 200 when response status is 0 before handling the request.

Any idea how to fix it in a cleaner way? or is it a bug?

Answer 1

This has been fixed with SPR-13516 and has been shipped with Spring Framework 4.2.2.

Answer 2

The exception message indicates your server side code generated a response with status code 0, which is invalid. If you check valueOf method of HttpStatus class you will see the exception message (spring-web/src/main/java/org/springframework/http/HttpStatus.java) :-

public static HttpStatus valueOf(int statusCode) {
        for (HttpStatus status : values()) {
            if (status.value == statusCode) {
                return status;
            }
        }
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("No matching constant for [" + statusCode + "]");
    }

I see this as the main issue on error stacktrace:-

at com.myApp.webapp.GenericWrappingFilter.doFilter(GenericWrappingFilter.java:100)
at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1624)
at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doHandle(ServletHandler.java:550)
at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:143)
at org.eclipse.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:568)
at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doHandle(SessionHandler.java:221)

It seems your filter is active on these non-secured css & js items. You have to make them filter free with config something like this :-

<http pattern="/css/**" security="none"/>
<http pattern="/login.jsp*" security="none"/>
<http pattern="/js/**" security="none"/>

Note:- i assumed you have all JS files within JS folder on classpath.

Answer 3

I am fairly certain this is a bug in the latest versions (4.2 and 4.2.1) of Spring to do with testing of content modification for caching static resources. The line appears to be in this commit: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/0175068cab7d294b6cce4369cbd7745dd03198ab#diff-40591a69c61c7ec1f211737fbf40b4ac

It gets move around a bit in subsequent commits, but that is the first time I can see the status code having its content tested without testing its existence.

I downgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.1.7 to make it go away.

EDIT: See answer from @BrianClozel as this is fixed in 4.2.2
