Description Radovan Synek 2013-08-01 15:45:24 UTC 
Created attachment 781665 [details]
server log

version: 6.0.0.CR1

Trying to start some task which does not exist by POST http://localhost:8080/business-central/rest/task/12345

The response is 200 OK is returned, but server log contains NPE: Unable to execute StartTaskCommand because of NullPointerException

1) why not to return 500 - internal server error with description of the problem?

2) couldn't be the NPE caught and replaced by more informative IllegalArgumentException (again, with some description)?

See the attached server log for more details.

Fixed with this commit: 
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/droolsjbpm-integration/commit/0f27ff1bdfd4f553d1bb40bdde4d2400cf032a71

I did not change the status to modified because I don't know what the correct target milestone is.
