13.8. Exception Handling
13.8.1. Create an Exception Mapper
Summary
Exception mappers are custom, application provided components that catch thrown exceptions and write specific HTTP responses.
Example 13.2. Exception Mapper
An exception mapper is a class that is annotated with the @Provider annotation, and implements the
ExceptionMapper interface.
An example exception mapper is shown below.
@Provider
public class EJBExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<javax.ejb.EJBException>
{
Response toResponse(EJBException exception) {
return Response.status(500).build();
}
}
To register an exception mapper, list it in the
web.xml file under the resteasy.providers context-param, or register it programmatically through the ResteasyProviderFactory class.
