Avoiding stack trace for particular WebApplicationExceptions & 500 instead of 403

[KARR, DAVID (ATTSI)]

I have a condition I need to check for in my CXF REST service that may result 
in having to throw back an error with status 403 (forbidden).  I'd like to log 
this occurred, but I don't need to have a stack trace appear in my log.


I had tried to make this happen, but it's still putting the 
WebApplicationException stack trace into my log.

Another possibly related problem is that the client isn't getting a 403, it's 
getting a 500.

In my controller handler, when I detect the condition, I do this:

  throw new WebApplicationException(Response.Status.FORBIDDEN)

I've defined the following:
---------------
public class WebApplicationExceptionMapper implements 
ExceptionMapper<WebApplicationException> {
    private static Logger  logger  = 
Logger.getLogger(WebApplicationExceptionMapper.class);

    @Override
    public Response toResponse(WebApplicationException ex) {
        if (ex.getResponse().getStatus() == 
Response.Status.FORBIDDEN.getStatusCode())
            logger.error("Request failed with FORBIDDEN status code.");
        else
            logger.error(ex);
        return null;
    }
}
---------------

In my debugger, I saw it throw the exception and the first if block, but in my 
console it shows the following (slightly elided) exception:
