How to set status code from service layer in Symfony 2?

I have a service that is helping me to validate some forms. I want to set HTTP status code from inside of it when it finds that form is actually invalid.

Is it OK to do so? How do I do it? Thanks!

The way I would do that (probably there's lot more solutions) is throwing some (custom) exception in your service in case your form is invalid.

Then I would create an exception listener which would listen on kernel exception event. Configuration of such listener would look something like this (services.yml)

kernel.listener.your_listener:
    class: Acme\Your\Namespace\YourExceptionListener
    tags:
        - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.exception, method: onException }

And than your onException method in YourExceptionListener class:

public function onException(GetResponseForExceptionEvent $event)
{
    $exception = $event->getException();
    if ($exception instanceof YourCustomExceptionInterface) {
        $response = new Response('', 400);
        $event->setResponse($response);
    }
}

This way you get nicely decoupled stuff, and your form validation service is independent of response.
