Post requests to the `/participants/{type}/{ID}` endpoint with missing ID are processed successfully

[theobadha]

Summary: POST requests to the /participants/{type}/{ID} endpoint where the {ID} parameter is missing are processed successfully - well, maybe not processed entirely, but no errors are thrown and a 202 response is sent back.

Severity: Low

Priority: Low

Expected Behavior POST requests to the /participants/{type}/{ID} endpoint where the {ID} parameter is missing should fail with an appropriate error code, and message.

Actual Response

{
  "status": 202,
  "statusText": "Accepted",
  "body": "",
  "headers": {
    "cache-control": "no-cache",
    "content-length": "0",
    "date": "Tue, 08 Jul 2025 14:04:43 GMT",
    "connection": "keep-alive",
    "keep-alive": "timeout=5"
  }
}

PS: From the logs, it seems the request fails in the backend? This snippet from the logs after running the request explains there's a duplicate entry. However no ID was issued in the request............ warn: error in db.insert insert intooracleMSISDN (fspId, id, subId) values ('payeefsp', '{ID}', DEFAULT) - ER_DUP_ENTRY: Duplicate entry '{ID}-' for key 'oracleMSISDN.PRIMARY' - {"code":"ER_DUP_ENTRY","component":"OracleDB","context":"MSISDN","stack":"Error: ER_DUP_ENTRY: Duplicate entry '{ID}-' for key 'oracleMSISDN.PRIMARY'\n at Sequence._packetToError
