How to return return any http error based on incoming request without hitting target url

[#1]

Hi,

I have applied a javascript policy at target request end. where i am checking some path param and query param and creating the target url .

i want to apply certain validation or path param and qurey param so if values are not correct i can directly return the proper http error through apigee without hitting my target server.

is there any way ???

One solution which I can think of is, you can have a variable named raiseFault which can be set toTrue when certain validation failure occurs in javascript.

Then you can use RaiseFault policy to send http error by setting FaultRule condition as ,

<FaultRules>
        <FaultRule name="FaultinProxy">
            <Step>
                <Name>Raise-Fault-1</Name>
            </Step>
            <Condition>(raiseFault = "true")</Condition>
        </FaultRule>
    </FaultRules>

thanks @RadhamaniRamadoss,

but how would i stop the flow to hit the target url.

I would like to understand why you want to stop the flow to hit the target url?

You initial query says ,you want to raise error without hitting target server.

yes, i don't want to hit the target server if i found any issue in my incoming request.

if i am setting 'target.url' in my javascript, it will try to hit the target server. so how can i make sure i won't hit the target server.
