When calling Automation operations through REST calls, you may want to throw custom exception and return it with the appropriate http error code or simply return the result when the process succeed with a custom HTTP status code.
Rest Custom Exception in Automation Operation and HTTP Code Error Setting
In order to throw custom exception and http status code, you have to create a custom Exception extending org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.server.jaxrs.RestOperationException. You will be able to set the HTTP status code which will be return into the rest call response.
Example:
I have to create an ExceptionTest extending the RestOperationException:

I can decide to throw a custom exception (ExceptionTest) with the appropriate HTTP status code (here 405).
org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.jaxrs.io.operations.RestOperationContext should be inject into your custom operation to check if it's existing or not. Automation operation can be executed in local or remotely. You should check the operation "mode" when you throw this rest exception to keep your logs clear and to know from where location the operation has been called.
Setting HTTP Status Code When Success in Automation Operation
In case you would like to specify a success HTTP status code in return of your custom operation, you can use the RestOperationContext to set it up.
Example:
Given a custom operation HttpStatusOperationTest:

I can set into the context the appropriate http status code that will be attached to the rest call response. (here 206)
