wso2 esb - How to handle request in case of mediator returning false

Question

I have custom mediator where we are validating internal authentication system. If authentication fails, mediator return false. Client receiving response as HTTP status code 202. This I want to override with some JSON response like { "authError" : "Authetication failed - TOKEN_INVALID" }. Please let me know how to handle such scenarios.

ESB Version - 4.81. Here is my proxy configuration -

In your class mediator, you can throw a SynapseException
In this case, inSequence mediation stop and faultSequence will be executed
In the faultSequence, your can use mediator payloadFactory with media-type="json" to build your json message and send it to the client with <send/>
