Closes #3199

RuleResolver.resolve turns an internal://proxyName/path URL into the body of the response the named proxy's flow produced. It is used e.g. by wsdlPublisher with internal://int/?wsdl. Three defects, all pre-existing:

1. The flow outcome was discarded and the response dereferenced unconditionally. A CONTINUE outcome — an empty or misconfigured flow, or one that never answers — left no response, so the caller got an opaque RuntimeException wrapping an NPE with no hint that the proxy's flow had failed to produce anything. An ABORT was equally invisible.

2. The HTTPClientInterceptor block was dead. The interceptor was constructed, inited and added to additionalInterceptors, which the very next line clear()ed (under a // TODO !!! marker), so it never reached the Stream.concat. No call to the target is made here, by design — the flow has to answer the request itself.

3. An InternalProxy had its flow run twice. The first run went through InternalRoutingInterceptor, but both its exchange and its outcome were discarded; because InternalProxy extends AbstractServiceProxy, control then fell through to the generic AbstractProxy branch, which built a second exchange and ran the same flow again. Only that second response was ever returned, so the first run was pure side effect. It was also semantically wrong: updateRequestPath() rewrites the request URI to the destination's path only, dropping the query, so a ?wsdl resolve answered itself with a "Method GET not allowed" SOAP fault before throwing it away.

Changes

  • ResourceRetrievalException gains a (url, reason) constructor, so failures carry a message naming the proxy and the URL instead of a wrapped RuntimeException.
  • resolve declares throws ResourceRetrievalException and reports each failure explicitly: proxy not found, proxy not active, proxy not an AbstractProxy, flow aborted, and flow returned <outcome> without producing a response.
  • Removed the dead HTTPClientInterceptor/additionalInterceptors block and the now-unused toUrl helper.
  • Removed the duplicate InternalProxy pre-run. Internal proxies now resolve through the same single path as every other proxy.
  • Class Javadoc stating the contract: the flow has to answer the request itself (static, template, …); the proxy's target is never called.

Behaviour

Resolving an internal proxy produces the same document as before — the second run was always the one that counted. What changes is that failures now surface as a ResourceRetrievalException with a message instead of an NPE, and an internal proxy's flow runs once rather than twice. Chained internal://ainternal://b resolution remains unsupported; it never worked, since the only run that could have handled it had its result discarded.

Tests

RuleResolverTest grows from 2 to 9 tests, covering the previously untested resolve: a flow that returns a document, a flow that sets the response without returning, resolution through an InternalProxy, a flow producing no response, an aborted flow, an unknown proxy and an inactive proxy.

Verified green in single-class isolation: RuleResolverTest 9/9, plus SoapAndInternalProxyTest 1/1 and InternalProxyTest 5/5 — the real internal://int/?wsdl consumers, unchanged by the removal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved resource retrieval failure handling with clearer error reporting.
    • Resource resolution now consistently reports unavailable, inactive, or incompatible proxy configurations.
    • Added explicit handling for aborted flows and flows that do not return a response.
    • Improved document resolution and static response retrieval through configured proxy flows.
    • Added support for resolving resources through internal proxy routes.

- Added `ResourceRetrievalException` for detailed error messages.
- Enhanced `RuleResolver` to handle internal proxy flows more robustly.
- Improved test suite to cover new failure scenarios and edge cases.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RuleResolver now uses checked ResourceRetrievalException failures. It invokes proxy flows directly and validates aborted or missing responses. Tests cover successful resolution, proxy errors, flow errors, registration, and static responses.

Changes

Resolver error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resource retrieval exception contract
core/src/main/java/com/predic8/membrane/core/resolver/ResourceRetrievalException.java
Adds a constructor that accepts a URL and reason. The exception message uses the supplied reason.
Resolver flow and failure handling
core/src/main/java/com/predic8/membrane/core/resolver/RuleResolver.java, core/src/test/java/com/predic8/membrane/core/resolver/RuleResolverTest.java
RuleResolver.resolve declares ResourceRetrievalException, invokes proxy flows directly, and handles aborted or missing responses. Tests cover success, proxy failures, flow failures, registration, and static responses.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ea496

Rule resolution now executes proxy flows directly and reports retrieval failures consistently. The failure and response-path coverage is expanded, but the successful-flow test does not prove that a flow runs exactly once, leaving bounded regression risk for stateful proxy flows.

RuleResolver ran an InternalProxy's flow twice. The first run went through
InternalRoutingInterceptor, but both its exchange and its outcome were
discarded; because InternalProxy extends AbstractServiceProxy, control then
fell through to the generic AbstractProxy branch, which built a second
exchange and ran the same flow again. Only that second response was ever
returned, so the first run was pure side effect. It was also wrong:
updateRequestPath() rewrites the request URI to the destination's path only,
dropping the query, so a "?wsdl" resolve answered itself with a SOAP fault
before throwing it away.

Remove the dead first run. The ABORT, no-response and response outcomes are
unchanged; they all live in the surviving branch.

Tests: resolving through an InternalProxy, and a flow that sets the response
without returning.

71-71: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the success test detect duplicate flow execution.

The flow at Line 71 uses idempotent interceptors. The assertion still passes if RuleResolver.resolve executes the flow twice. Add a counting interceptor and assert exactly one invocation because removing duplicate flow execution is a PR objective.

As per coding guidelines, tests must cover observable behavior and documented invariants.
