digitalmars.D.learn - Best way for handle missing args in REST interface in vibed

I am doing REST interface with vibed. And thinking about handling 
errors, if users forgot to pass all expected args in function.

For example:
foo(int x, int y) // get request
{

}

/api/foo?x=111

And if user is forgot to pass `y` we will get error in the 
browser. What is the right way to handle curch cases?

Wrap is with try-catch looks wrong.

That depends on wether or not there is a sensible default for y, if so foo(int x, int y=0) ought to work.

I wrote next code:

         void foo(string _error = null)
         {
             writeln("Error");
         }
     override:
          errorDisplay!foo
         Json doTrackSpeedAnalyze(int trackid, string 
startDateTime, string endDateTime) // 
/api/mytrack?trackid=123&startDateTime=2000&endDateTime=2010
         {
             if(endDateTime.length == 0)
             {
                 throw new Exception("End Date must not be empty");
             }
             return Json.emptyObject;
         }

If I access to url:  /api/mytrack?trackid=123&startDateTime=2000 
(witout endDateTime) I am expecting execution foo() block, but it 
does not happens. Why?

And what do Exception here? Why should handle it?

         {
             writeln("Error in console"); // does not writing on 
console
         }
      override:
          errorDisplay!foo
         Json doTrackSpeedAnalyze(int trackid, string

             {
                 throw new Exception("Some fields are empty");
             }
             return Json.emptyObject;
         }

}


What I am doing wrong? Should I do  override for foo? Should foo 
present in `interface`?
