@RestController
public class RepoController {
    @RequestMapping(value = \"/document/{id}\", method = RequestMeth         


        

Answer 1

You can try this :

@RestController
public class RepoController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/document/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity getDocument(@PathVariable long id) {

       if(noError) {
           ............
           return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.OK); 
       }
       else {
           return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
       }
   }
}

Uou need to change HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST with the equivalent for 204 code status
